Finally, check the programs your PC is calling when it boots to make sure there are no entries for these or associated programs.ĬCleaner is free. Also, if you do uninstall QuickTime and/or Java, run CCleaner to clean out any remaining registry entries or orphaned files. Remember to create a restore point before you do anything so you can backtrack. It would be better if we now called it ECMAScript, to reflect that it has been through the European Computer Manufacturers Association's standards process, but there's almost no chance of that. JavaScript began life as Netscape's LiveScript, and Sun was stupid to agree the name-change. Note that Sun's Java has nothing at all to do with JavaScript, which is very widely used across the web. If you have to reinstall it, you should get a clean installation of just the latest code. The benefit of uninstalling Java is that you may be able to remove several versions. "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff If you can't see how to do this, you can create a desktop shortcut with the following Target line (including the quotes): Well, you can try running Internet Explorer with no add-ons. Unfortunately there's no simple way to find out, except to remove it and see which website features stop working. Sun's Java is used for developing small applets and online apps (including games), and again, if you don't need to use any, you can uninstall it. Sadly, there's no chance of Jobs practising what he preaches. Well, iTunes and QuickTime are examples of sub-standard apps that have not been written for the Windows platform. Also, iTunes is used to access Apple's online store, so if you really must do that, you're lumbered.Īpple boss Steve Jobs has complained about developers not writing software for the platform because it "ultimately produces sub-standard apps". While there are plenty of alternatives to iTunes - including WinAmp, Songbird, Amarok and SharePod - they won't play music protected by Apple's proprietary FairPlay copy protection system.
However, uninstalling QuickTime does become a problem if you use iTunes to manage an iPod media player, because iTunes uses QuickTime. The cross-platform alternative is the open source media player VLC, which is also worth a look. Media Player Classic only runs on Windows.
You need to add the two Alternatives if you want to cover those. If you download the K-Lite Codec Pack, that also installs Media Player Classic along with codecs that will play almost anything except QuickTime and Real videos.
