How to Disable Quicktime on Startup
Quicktime is a digital media playback application by Apple that comes standard with the Mac OS X operating system, but can be downloaded for Windows at no charge. The default installation package (depending on the version) can include Quicktime in the Windows startup menu. However, if you don't use this application often you should disable it from starting at every computer reboot. You can do so using the Windows built-in System Configuration utility.
