Removing Quicktime from system startup

I didn't put Quicktime on my pc, VS did.
I like to keep my pc as "empty" as possible, and have removed as many programs as possible from system startup, but Quicktime just refuses to budge.

However many times I go to "msconfig/startup" and uncheck the Quicktime box, the next time I boot it has created a new entry and included itself again in the list. The old entry, with the unchecked box is still there.

I know it's not very big and probably isn't using much juice, but now it's really p#####g me off because it won't obey me!
How can I get rid of the darn thing at startup?

I do it in a round about way, I use sybot S&D. It's freeware - really good trojan finder. anyway under advanced mode, tools, startup you can check off quicktime and it won't start. it's a good tool for seeing what's starting.

Great! I have Spybot - good little tool.
Thanks very much.

Also make sure you edit the preferences in QT player on advanced page and disable the tray icon.
