Quicktime problems

[tascienu]

Hi,

I usually didn't want to install QuickTime, because it sets itself as
default play of different files in IE without even asking you. Pain in
the A****

I had to install it. Because of iTunes. Now, every link i click the
browser, being .mp3, .mpg, .mpeg opens within the browser, and...
through QuickTime.

Get this, when i try to use QuickTime Save As to achieve the same
result as Windows Media's Save As, I am told that the Free version that
i have does NOT allow Save As. I have to buy paid version!!!!!!!!!!!

UGggg.!!!

Changing files associations in WMP works well when i launch the video
locally. But when clicked on a link, it does not work.

Has anybody found a way around this ? I think people from QuickTime
should really be sued...

Open the QuickTime Player, go to Edit Menu, Preferences, File Types. Uncheck
ALL file types except Apple/QuickTime files. Uncheck the box that reads,
"Notify me if...". As far as the 'Save As' issue, this is Apple's way of
encouraging you to pay $30 for QuickTime Pro.

I think that should do it.

Suing them is not a bad idea. It is the most user unfriendly media program
out there. Totally cumbersome..........but unfortunately has become a
necessity for many.
