How to amend the MIME settings in Quicktime?
Hi all,
We are facing a very tiresome situation here. We have Quicktime 6.0.2 installed company-wide and we need to change a setting in the Browser Plugin section. Basically, we need to remove the association to TIF/TIFF files. I have tried simply deleting the registry keys that appear to be associated but the settings do not seem to take effect (you have to start the QT player, go into the settings and click OK!).
Our last resort is to amend the original MSI file and re-install it company-wide WITHOUT the TIF/TIFF association and I was wondering if anyone had experimented with this and figured out what registry/file system changes need to be made?
Any help appreciated

If you delete it from the registy, will if then be back? (thinking of the Self healing)
If this is the case, modify the original package, and sent it out again. with the commands REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=VOMUS.
You can also do a snapshot to see what happens when you delete tha association.

Hi,
I have had the same issues with QT. I have created the following .reg file from my investigations (I have been unable to test this myself due to infrastructure issues)
Also, QT saves its preferences in the following file: documents and settings\all users\application data\quicktime\quicktime.qtp
I suggest trying the registry (please have a look and determine if this will mess up anything else you have) and copying a version of the .qtp file with the .tiff association turned off.
Good luck.
