@!#%& Quicktime

Every time that I pave my machine, I swear that I'm not going to load Quicktime again, but I eventually need to because I have yet to find a way to play Quicktime videos in Windows Media Player.

Despite explicitly telling the installer that I DO NOT WANT QUICKTIME TO BE MY DEFAULT PLAYER for anything but Quicktime videos, I always seem to see the plugin pop up when I click on, say an MP3 file link on a web page:

Quicktime Plugin Playing My Browser's MP3 Files

(the link being displayed in this screenshot, btw, is another SSWUG podcast where a blog post of mine was mentioned:
