Quicktime sucks!

[Deja Q]

I have it on my emulated windows system.

I have wav files using CoolEdit as a default player. (confirmed this in file associations)

In a browser window, I go to play a clip.

Quicktime hijacks and plays it in its own window.

I never told quicktime to make it the default player.

When I go to uninstall, QUicktime proclaims that uninstalling it ca make applications malfunction.

Forget you apple, if you're as sloppy as microsoft is.

Oh, I use windows emulation because of compuserve. That's soon going to change too.

2. Go to the Quictime control panel

and uncheck the .wav file association

3. Guess what?

It's already not checked. When I installed it, I told it to associate ONLY Macintosh file types. The install process made it quite clear at the time what it wanted to make default. I did not make .wav default to Quicktime.

Of course, I unchecked it anyway. Made no difference. :cry:

I appreciated the help though. Under normal circumstances you'd be spot-on. When I'm involved, things are never normal. :-)

Oh well. Applesauce happens.

5. Did you check in your browser?

Isn't there usually a "use X-application" MIME-type window that tells the browser which app to use?

You said:
In a browser window, I go to play a clip.
What browser are you using?
And what are you expecting to happen when you click on the clip?
For it to launch CoolEdit?

If you click on a .wav file in "explorer" does it launch CoolEdit?

4. Lose the emulation then try again

That doesn't sound typical for QT, and a lot of emulation software is...quirky.
