Save as quicktime file so quicktime player can be used after right-click

Question

Hey,
I'm adding short .aiff's to a site for people to right click and save.
-I'm making the .aiff using logic express.
-Bouncing to desktop.
-Changing file to "open using quicktime player" which makes the file look like a quicktime file with the big "Q" on it. When I double click on the file, it opens with quicktime player.
-Creating text box and linking .aiff (actually they are .aifc) file to text box, just regular stuff for creating links for files.
-After I publish site to folder. When I go in and right click on the link to save to desktop, the file I thought used quicktime player becomes an itunes .aiff file with the itunes colors (green) and opens using itunes, thus adding the file to my itunes library.
I'd like people to be able to just open the .aiff and quicktime player would automatically play the file, this way unwanted stuff won't be added to itunes library.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, byt
ps, I've been looking up the difference between .aiff and .aifc. It looks as if they are about the same except you can compress .aifc. Does it really matter which is which if you're not compressing or anything and just clicking and playing?

I think this is a function of how someone's browser is set up or maybe system preferences that associate file types with certain default applications. For instance, you can take the .aiff file on your desktop that is currently associated with iTunes (and has the iTunes icon)....right click on it and select "Open with..." In the opened window select QuickTime player and then check the "Always Open With" box. This will make QuickTime player the default player of .aiff files instead of iTunes. So you see how it is a user defined variable in terms of which application opens which document.
I'd like people to be able to just open the .aiff and
quicktime player would automatically play the file,
this way unwanted stuff won't be added to itunes
library.
An alternative would be to convert your sound files to .mov files that will by system default be opened by QuickTime player directly...just like iTunes is the system default for .aiff sound files.
