Hey guys! I hope you can help me.
I am having a problem where when i try to download an .exe file from the net, it brings up quicktime. It there a way to change my settings so that my computer doesent associate .exe files with quicktime?
I can open .exe files allready installed on my computer.
Thanks so much for your help.
Matt

Strange. Do you know how to change file associations? Have you looked there?

My computer
view (on XP )
look for Folder options
last tab...

careful about playing with association...associate the wrong extension and the OS is shot...say dll with win zip

Jah. What Doonz said. That would be like ... crossing the streams! :flames:

I checked the association tag, and for the exe files and it says:

extension: EXE
Content type(mime):application/x-ms download
opens with: executable

Sounds right to me... But im no guru
Is that correct?
Thanks

I think the problem is that EXE appears in the list at all. EXE or COM don't appear in my associations for W2K, and I wouldn't expect them to. I don't want them associated with a specific application, which is what the file associations are for. I'd delete the definition of EXE there...
