Arun 795 Report post Posted February 7, 2006 look for qttask.exe and remove the tick. Its better to disable it from QuickTime's configuration s that the next time you run QT, it won't get added to the start again. And for the "My Computer" shortcut, did you add it in your Startup folder ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
