Win98-2, two related questions.
1. I recently had to reinstall Acrobat Reader and although I'm generally careful about rights, QuickTime got set as default everything viewer. I have gone to Folders Options a thought I reset my preferred jpg viewer only to find QT still doing the job. I tried deleting QT but get a message about deleting QT system extentions can cause application to malfunction, so I opt to not uninstall everything, only QT. It's still there and still default. Originally tried uninstalling with Control Panel, then RegCleaner, the Norton SystemWorks. Same thing.
2. (And maybe related to the first). A couple of lines got inserted in my autoexec.bat string which I am assuming relate to QuickTime:
SET CLASSPATH="C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\lib\ext\QTJava.zip"
SET QTJAVA="C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\lib\ext\QTJava.zip"
To get rid of these (I'll backup), would the best way be to just highlight and delete in sysedit. Would it be easier to run msconfig and just uncheck the unwanted lines in autoexec.bat and then if there was a problem, I could just go back and recheck the boxes?
And would this perhaps help with problem 1?
I'm a novice and a little nervous, so your help is appreciated.
