Default uninstall question

When I tried to uninstall an ancient version of Apple QuickTime (version
5.x), I got the message from Microsoft that if I uninstall QuickTime system
extensions, it can cause applications to malfunction. It recommends clicking
on "Uninstall" rather than on "Uninstall Everything." Should I follow the
recommendation?

Thank you!

Jo-Anne

No, I'd Uninstall Everything. If you're worried, make a System Restore point
before you uninstall QT.
