How do I remove Quick Time Media Player from my PC, which was downloaded
some time back.
In control panel their is separate entry for quick time which cannot be
deleted.
My friend tried to remove it by deleting all the entry pertaining to quick
time from registry, but it simply refuses to go.
How do I remove it from PC.
TIA.

Did you look in the "Add or Remove Programs?"
This forum has a solution. Has Apple installed iTunes on your friend's computer?

If your friendly 'expert' deleted items from the registry he likely screwed
any hope of using the Add/Remove option.
Reinstall QTime MP then use Add/Remove dialogue

Reinstall QuickTime and then use Add/Remove.

Thanks Everybody for your comments and suggestions. it really was a great
help to me.

Mary, your suggested link is really a very good one.I too have bookmarked it
for future perusal.

DL, fortunately nothing like what you suggested happened. As a matter of
fact Quick Time was in list of control panel.
Finally I removed Quick Time via Start -> All Programs -> Quick Time ->
uninstall.
But let me tell you even after uninstalling it was still there in the
Registry.
My friend manually removed further entries from registry even after I had
uninstalled it. He further removed entries pertaining to itunes from the
registry which I did not install in the first place.
Of course I now know that it comes bundled with Quick Time and get itself
installed whether you want it or not.

By the way my friend has suggested I should download VLC media player.
Kindly advice me whether I should download the VLC media player or mot.
Regards.
