msconfig startup uncheck problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

QuickTime, Edit | Preferences | QuickTime Preferences, select Browser
Plug-in and make sure that "QuickTime system tray icon" is unchecked and
then uncheck qttask in MSConfig. This may not be enough but is all I've
ever needed to do to prevent qttask from being launched each time I boot
my systems.

KLT,

Thanks for the feedback and I'm pleased to read that it worked. Like
yourself I hate having unnecessary applications launch when I bootup my
PC. Worse I seem to recall that in this case unchecking "QuickTime system
tray icon" found at QuickTime, Edit | Preferences | QuickTime Preferences
| Browser Plug-in doesn't seem to remove qttask just the systray icon and
that one then has to manually remove the qttask entry in msconfig.
However having unchecked "QuickTime system tray icon" it seems qttask
doesn't return.

Cheers,

IIRC, that depends on the version of QT installed - later versions being
better-behaved that earlier ones (which tended to reset the SysTray icon to
run, every time QT was called)
