I bet a programmers' popularity would soar if they created an app who's sole purpose was to completely uninstall QuickTime (along with the 10 billion registry items it creates). God forbid you lose one item of QT. Good luck uninstalling or re-installing over it. You can't.

I think I got rid of mine with Revo Uninstaller.

The after uninstall scan picked up a lot of stuff, although you need to be careful and check before deleting everything.

And of course always make a registry backup with for example Erunt, to be on the safe side.

Thanks for the links! ;)

Wow, that Revo is one cool intense app. :blink: Helped me get rid of all those "CS3 Photoshop trial" MSIs that kept ghost-flooding CCleaner for half a year.

And QuickTime is toast! I can finally do a clean re-install. :D

I'm pleased it worked out for you. Revo's a good app as long as you're cautious, and backup beforehand.

Oh yeah, definitely backed up with Erunt before I began. I'll leave the back-up file as is for a month just to make sure things are still okey dokey.
