Hey Safari, stop bugging me!

Just because I have QuickTime installed, why on earth would I want Safari? If you're of a similar opinion, and the constant update notifications prompting you to install Safari are getting on your nerves, there's an easy solution. Go into the Tools menu and choose Ignore Selected Updates. Voila - that annoying nagging finally comes to an end. [Thanks to CyberNet News for the tip]

But there's a surprise in store.

Next time you install an update for QuickTime, you'll get the iTunes/Safari nag message all over again. Once you've gone back into Tools and ignored the "updates", one way to stop the messages appearing again is to launch QuickTime, then go into the Edit menu, followed by Preferences, followed by QuickTime Preferences, followed by Update (gee, that option's not buried at all, is it?). Now uncheck the Check for Updates Automatically box.

An alternative, faster way is to hit the Windows key, type unin and click Uninstall QuickTime from the list of options that appear.
