Hi all, bit hard to explain, but here goes- After installing software for digital camera, some sort of player installed itself too, although it was not mentioned anywhere on the CD-Rom, and it’s attached its own icons to all
my image & mp3 files that I never asked for. I could just go to add/remove programs & delete it but I’m worried I’d lose all the abovementioned files. It’s something called QuickTime player. What does the group think? if it’s good, should I just let it take over & use it from now on, or get rid of it (if possible). I would be very glad of any advice, thankyou. Sorry if this is OT for this group, but I couldn’t find a dig. cam. ng.

What OS? Quicktime is worth having and I belive some apps need it to run.

You should be able to change the associations.

yep look in the options tab and find where the files that will associate with quicktime and choose just the file types that you want quicktime to associate with its self. i.e. turn off the programs ability to run mpeg s and other video files other than avi.

There are books on Photoshop that have a CD attached which opens in Quicktime. One is Adobe Photoshop 7.0 for Photographers by Martin Evening and it needs Quicktime to play.

and craigs idea will work except evertime you get a new file it will change to quicktime and youll have to always manually tell the puter which program to use to open the files
