Mary.
I had the same problem as You, my screen does noe have any tabs, but a dorpdown menu. From this choose [Browser-plugin] uncheck the checkbox infront of “QuickTime system tray icon” at the bottom.

In trying to follow the instructions to remove QuickTime icon,when I right click on the icon,then on preferences the screen shown in the example is not what comes up on my computer.I have no tabs; only a screen showing QuickTime settings with a rolling screen showing copyrights such as QDesign and Qualcom and many more. What can I try now to get rid of this annoying icon?

Apple’s quicktime for windows is decidedly less stable than the free Quicktime alternative. That and the alternative doesn’t repeatedly force itself into the startup and system tray. Apple appears to have deliberately made the software unstable to make windows look bad. Just say no.

To Pete’s MSCONFIG experience – Did the same and had success. Now I have the big balloon banner “Windows has blocked a startup program” in my face every startup and various other times. I’m going back to the tiny QuickTime icon! Now can some one please tell me how to access my Hotmail?
Don’t like Hotmail (my current Email is much better – no ads of any kind) but I just have to know why I can’t get it on my Vista. Thanks, Wayne
