This is a follow up to an earlier post but I dont think
anyone would see the new reply this many days later.
I've quoted the message and the relevant reply...
Subject: Re: keep quicktime from starting in tray ?

Right-click on the QuickTime icon in the system tray.
Select QuickTime Preferences and remove the checkmark
next to "QuickTime system tray icon", then close the
window.
Next, go to Start > Run and type: MSCONFIG , and hit
enter.
Look under the Startup tab for "qttask" and uncheck the
box
next to it, then click "apply" and reboot.
This procedure should solve your problem.

I couldnt try this as it wasn't loading for awhile.
I cant figure out what's putting it back.
When I right click on the tray icon, "quicktime
preferences" is greyed out.
I have removed it from the startup configuration (though
I dont use msconfig, I use start manager) and it keeps
putting itself back in the startup sequence in the
registry. Not consistently but erraticly. Possibly when
its called up to view something online? My daughter likes
to view cartoon drawings and graphics on the web, maybe
thats loading the program and its auto resetting itself
to the tray startup.
Basically I just remove it again every time it goes back.
It appears to be version 5.0
Any ideas???
