All true and I overlooked the obvious answer.....just colour me blonde,
lol.

Still have those blasted qt/ocx files in the registry.....once I figure
out what Mike is saying, I will have another look. (G)

Hey! Heather - I didn't say removing QuickTime was going to be easy!
vbg but the OP's major concern was about getting rid of the icon.

I think yours, Mike's and Mow's follow-ups pretty well cover all
eventualities. I just hope Irene managed to find her way back here to
pick-up our (collective) tips.

Mart.....removing QuickTime is darn near impossible. With Noel's
help, I got rid of most of it, but it still shows up in Startup
(unchecked) and also in a Registry Scan. I delete the "qt" files and
they come back.

I just used RegEdit and can see nothing with "qt or quicktime" under
software, so not sure where it is hiding.

Cheers...Figgs

Right-click on the icon and select Quick Time Preferences, then
select the Advanced tab. Un-check the "Install Quick Time icon in
system tray" box at the bottom of the page. N.B. this only 'hides'
the icon.

On the other hand, if you don't want Quick Time on your PC at all,
you could always uninstall it completely using Add/Remove Programs
in Control Panel.

I orginally posted this question in Learning General Discussions. I
realize
it now that it was in the wrong area. My apologies.

How do I get rid of the Quick time exploer icon on the right hand
side at the
bottom of the windows desktop. It was downloaded by my
grandchildren to
play games. I can't get rid of it.
