How to uninstall just the QTPlugin.ocx?

I'm trying to do the remove the Quicktime browser add-on so that when I click on an mp3, it opens with my default mp3 player, and not in my browser window. It should prompt me to open or save like it did before I update my version of iTunes.
First, I went into the QT control panel and changed the MIME types and file associations, and unchecked every single type that it would allow me to uncheck (it wouldn't let me uncheck "Quicktime Movie" or "Quicktime Movie" again). I closed and reopened all open apps (including the browser) and it still tries to load the mp3 in the browser. Which is not what I want it to do.
Next, I went into IE's Internet Options, to the Manage Add-Ons section, and disabled the Quicktime Object (QTPlugin.ocx). Closed and restarted everything, and it's the same thing except now after the mp3 downloads in the browser, it just displays a red x.
How can I entirely uninstall the Quicktime browser plugin? Why did it get installed in the first place? I just wanted iTunes. I didn't want Quicktime to take over my browser.

It sounds to me like it is being re-registered; when u unregistered, did u remove or rename the .ocx?
windows, as you know has many layers, with too many auto-things; (it is also possible that there are more copies of the qtplugin.ocx);
there are always many ways to accomplish the same thing in windows;
2 other quick ways to accomplish the same thing:
1 - from windows explorer (or `my computer`); make sure that nothing is hidden (tools->options->view) make sure that u have `show all hidden files and folders` checked, and `hide protected system files` unchecked;
- navigate to: c:\windows\downloaded program files
- look for the plugin, right click->remove
(if u only see those long numbers (classIDs) then right-click->properties to see the details so u know which one to remove)
2 - you can use any of a wide variety of 3rd party anti-spyware software to remove the plugin, because they allow removal of almost all .ocx files (found under the `ActiveX` category); e.g., with the (free) `spybot search and destroy` from safer-networking.org, if you choose Mode->Advanced, tools-activex, u are able to remove it;
as I said, there are many ways to accomplish the same thing; if neither of these help, would u want to contact me directly? hopefully we can resolve the issue, and then report the findings/solution here for everyone

  • Any ideas or thoughts on how to locate JUST the iTunes music?

    I’d like to know if there is a way to run a program/script to identify the songs purchased from iTunes only?
    I have my CD’s uploaded digitally to an external drive and purchased iTunes songs and I’m trying to organize what I have.
    Any ideas or thoughts on how to locate JUST the iTunes music?

    Found a solution, but it's not ideal or what I was really requesting. However it will work for now.
    Add the "Kind" column and sort by "ACC Purchased audio file" and you can get what you need.
    I was really looking for a shell script to do this.... If anyone has a way of doing this let me know.

  • How to install just the Adobe 7 Writer PDF printer

    In our environment we need to be able to print to PDF, but we also have a 3rd party formcreation software that needs Adobe 8 reader to capture digitized signagtures.
    After testing we have found out that we need to have the PDF printer functionality of Writer 7, and the digitized signature capture ability from 8.  Problem is that the 7 install (no matter ther order of installation) take priority over the 8 install and does not let us use 8 to sign the document.
    the ideal fix is being able to install just the pdf printer from 7 Writer.

  • I figured out how to detach audio, but cannot figure out how to export JUST the audio to send as MP3. How specifically do I do it?

    I have figure out how to detach my audio from my video clip, but I tried to just range select the audio and export just that, but the video keeps going with it. How can I JUST export the audio? I am a musician and need to make an MP3 out of it to send out.
    Please be as specific as possible if you can in explaining and thank you so much for any help you might be able to offer.

    You don't need to detach the audio. Export a master file and in settings you get the option to export audio only.

  • How to get just the key from a database ?

    Hello, the sample at FAQs was not enought to me...
    My code to retrieve just the key (Exists this record ?).
    //     Checks if the ticket exists in the database.
    BOOL     CDSDBBD::TicExist(     char     *pcaTicCod)
         int          iResult;
         int          iLen;
         Dbt          dbtKey;
         Dbt          dbtData;
         char     caError[256];

    Thanks,

    Thanks Alexander.Gorrod, the return value, from get, was "-858993460", but the error code at exception was "-30999", that is DB_BUFFER_SMALL. The final code look like this:
    memset(&dbtData, 0, sizeof(dbtData));
    dbtData.set_flags(DB_DBT_USERMEM);
    dbtData.set_ulen(0);
    try
    // You can then call get as you would normally:
    iResult = m_pdbTic->get(NULL, &dbtKey, &dbtData, 0);
    catch(DbException &e)
    if(e.get_errno() == DB_BUFFER_SMALL)
    return TRUE;
    catch(std::exception &e)
    sprintf(caError,     e.what());
    return FALSE;
    Thanks for the tip,

  • How to run just the data flow

    We are in the process of converting from one ETL tool to Data Services 3.0.  I have a workflow with several data flows underneath it and have to make a change to the data flow.  Is there a way to run just the dataflow without executing the whole job?  For example, I just want to run DF4 below.
    WF --> DF1 --> DF2 --> DF3 --> DF4 --> DF5
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Although this topic is solved, just a few clarifications:
    When you create a new job and drag 'n drop the workflow/dataflow into it, you are not creating a second object (class), you are calling the object a second time (instantiate). It is like a BASIC program. I created a sub-procedure and called in DF1. In my filesystem I can see that sub-procedure as a seperate file in the folder object_library -> dataflow_procedures.
    Then I have two main programs, both just calling that sub-procedure with "gosub DF1".
    In the job you see the calls, when you drill into DF1 you see its definition and what object it calls.
    Using a conditional is okay but not adviced in my opinion. You are losing too much, the handling is complex and development takes a few seconds longer. my two cents only.

  • How to display just the unit of a number in a cell?

    Hi,
    I need to get the product of two numbers (e.g. 7x3 = 21) but have just the unit (1) appear in a cell. Can anyone help me achieve this please?

    Assuming column B contians numbers you can get the right-most digit like this:
    C1=RIGHT(B2, 1)
    this is shorthand for in cell C1 type (or copy and paste) the formula:
    "=RIGHT(B2, 1)" without the double quotes

  • How to return just the TIME in a date time stamp column?

    Hello.
    My 'DATETIMESTAMP' column ordinarily returns '15/11/2011 10:32:15'.
    If I TRUNC(DATETIMESTAMP) I can get just the date - which is great.
    But what I want here is just the TIME element.
    SUBSTR doesn't seem to return anything after the date element.
    I've searched high-and-low!
    Any thoughts people?
    Cheers.
    Ady.

    I don't believe it - I could have sworn I'd tried that!
    Cheers pal.
    That's fixed it for me.

  • I purchased Aperture 3 about a year ago. I hardly use it because it is so slow.  If I uninstall the sample library, will that help the processing speed to edit pictures?  If so, how do I uninstall just the sample library?

    I purchased Aperture 3 about a year ago.  I hardly use it because it's processing speed is so slow when editing pictures.  Can I uninstall the sample library to increase the processing ability of the program? If so, how do I do that?  I need simple instructions because I am not a professional at knowing how to do this.
    Thank you.  Any help will be appreciated.  The following is information on my IMac:
    Model Name:          iMac
      Model Identifier:          iMac5,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache:          4 MB
      Memory:          1 GB
      Bus Speed:          667 MHz
      Boot ROM Version:          IM51.0090.B09
      SMC Version (system):          1.8f2

    poppy-
    Aperture is a hardware hog. Unfortunately your iMac  has a weak processing unit and relatively weak graphics, both of which are important for Aperture performance. Your iMac will never run Aperture particularly well; it may or may not be adequate for your needs.
    I ran Aperture with weak hardware (2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo 2006 Macbook Pro, 3 GB RAM) for years. It was tolerable because I also used a Mac Pro for heavy editing work. With weak hardware we need to optimize everywhere we can. I suggest:
    • Do not bother running Aperture until you add RAM.
    • Before each Aperture session restart the Mac to clear possible memory leaks, and run only Aperture by itself unless you have 6 GB or more RAM on board.
    • Drives slow as they fill so verify that all hard drives are no more than approximately 70% full as a guideline. Even less full is better.
    • Keep the Library size reasonable by using a referenced-Masters workflow with Masters on external drives. Back up originals before import into Aperture or any other images app.
    Good luck!

  • How do you uninstall just the mail program and reinstall

    i can not send or receive messages BUT I know my account is set up right cause i have used it for the last two years...ive only had this problem the last couple days.  I am thinking my mail program is corrupted and i want to reinstall it BUT dont know how.  OR does anyone have any other ideas why im not getting my mail or able to send it?  I have talked with my service provider and everything is fine on their end.

  • [SAP CRM] How to get just the hit count of objects with a database query?

    Hello,
    i need help. For performance reasons I dont want to get the query result with all the objects from the database. I just want to send a request / query to the database in order to know how many entries are there available with my search parameters.
    At the moment I load all the objects via class cl_crm_bol_dquery_service and the method get_query_result in an internal collection. And after that I call the method size in my collection object. But to gain better performance I just want to know the count. With standardized select statements I would take the select count statement, but in this case it is not possible.
    So I tried to call the retrieve_hit_count method, but I will receive the exception cx_sy_no_handler anytime.
    I would be very pleased to receive an answer <removed by moderator>.
    Thank you very much!
    Marcus
    Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Feb 16, 2011 1:45 PM - priority normalised

    It will be 0 before the call method statement and 1 during exception handling.
    The exception starts in CL_CRM_BOL_DQUERY_SERVICE=>RETRIEVE_HIT_COUNT when the system tried to perform the following statement:
      Return hit count if already available
        rv_hit_count = me->handle->get_hit_count( ).
    The handle variable seems to be empty. But why?

  • How to clear just the computer name before getting image of the hard disk?

    Hi,
    I have a Win 7 PC with some applications installed on it and I don't have the installation files of the applications. Now I want to create an image of the C drive, and use it on other PCs. So I need to just clear the computer name and shutdown
    the PC and use an imaging software to make an image of the C drive, so when I deploy the image on a new computer, on the first startup screen it'll ask for JUST computer name.
    I tried to use sysprep but it look like clearing more data  than I want (just PC name). Also the AIK solution look like I have to have the installation files of all the softwares that I want to have on my computer.
    In one sentence: How to clear the computer name before getting image using a disk image tool (Acronis, Ghost,...)?

    Hi,
    Sysprep will do this job. But when the system boot up, it will generate new computer name.
    In general, you need boot to win pe after you run systprep. I think you can create a USB bootable device.
    In win pe, you can use ImageX or DISM tool to capture the image.
    I'm not fimilar with the tools you referred since they are not from Microsoft, so I cannot give any direction about it.

  • How to uninstall when the uninstallers don't work

    Hi! I recently bought a new Mac. Somehow software activation issues didn't cross my mind, as I reformatted my old Mac. Haven't used my CS5 software since then. Of course it won't work today, not even the uninstallers. I chatted with support but I need to talk to the M-F support to fix this. As I'm impatient, any ideas to safely uninstall if even the uninstall apps are not working? I'm thinking of just downloading the whole kit and kaboodle and seeing if it has uninstallers that will do their trick while installing or something...
    Thanks,
