I just wanted to use quicktime to look at .MOV files since my digital camera records video in the .MOV format. After installing it I noticed it took ownership of all the other media like pictures and other video formats. I don't remember it asking me about it during the install either. Sure it was simple to change it back to only .MOV but a pain in the a$$ none the less. IE toolbars are another thing some programs like to hijack. I can't remember which apps actually hijacked their toolbars on IE but it was a few of them and they actually asked during the install, so I declined, and they still added them anyway. I really only use the google search toolbar so all of the other fluff toolbars are a waste of time and HDD space IMO.
