etaoin: I clicked on that QuickTime icon in the taskbar and went in and deactivated all the MIME Settings, and on that menu there was a little checked box at the bottom that read "check here to install icon in the taskbar time tray"...so I unchecked it. The icon is gone and QuickTime is not blocking my Windows Media Player anymore...so that's solved. But I still have those 20 dormant (hopefully) QuickTime files sitting in my C: Drive taking up space...
