quicktime 6.5: register + remove tray icon

[oermens]

Any way to do this using the QuickTimeInstaller.ini or a .reg key?

I did not ask about quicktime alternative. Is there anyone who can post a solution that is not useless to me?

Do you know the Silent switch for it? Tried the /? only iniated the prog?

Just stumbled upon a file that had my QT Registration information in it

%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QuickTime\QuickTime.qtp

this file changed after I unchecked the option to show the systray icon also, so in theory I think it should accomplish both of the tasks you were inquiring about simply by copying this file back to the appropriate directory after a re-install.

Tried that idea by copying my .qtp file into the aforementioned directory and this did not work... not only is QT not registered like I was hoping, but I still got the tray icon.

That will remove the tray Icon, i don't know how to register it though

;DeleteQTTask from startup group
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"QuickTime Task"=-

Thanks, it was helpful to me. I don't know any advantage to using quicktime over mpc.
