Hi Hilmar,

I went through registry and removed everything, which contained QuickTime. I also went to View/Files Types and put IE as open action for these types. I haven't re-started my computer, but should I?

This darn computer still invokes QuickPicture Viewer for JPG files, which does nothing. In other words, in order to see JPG I have to open PhotoDraw and then open a file. It's extremely inconvenient... :(


>> I want to uninstall QuickTime programs. I don't know, how it was installed originally, but its PictureViewer registers iteself for JPG format. However, it doesn't show pictures and it's extremelly annoying. I want to uninstall this beast, but didn't find how so far...

The difficulty (if you don't have such a program) is that there are several ways to load a program automatically - certain INI files, the Startup menu, and a host of registry entries.

So, what exactly should be my steps? It's very unpleasant feeling - feel stupid facing your own computer... :(
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
