QuickTime for windows7

To disable splash screen (content guide), launch the shortcut and go to Edit Menu. Under “Preferences” option, choose “Player Preferences” and uncheck “Show Content Guide at startup” in the General tab.
The setting corresponding to this action will be stored in “QTPlayerSession.xml” file under“%LOCALAPPDATA%\Apple Computer\QuickTime\”. Copy this file and add to the same location in the package.
To disable AutoUpdates, launch the shortcut and go to Edit Menu. Under “Preferences” option, choose “QuickTime Preferences” and uncheck “Check for updates automatically” in the Update tab.
The setting corresponding to this action will be stored in “com.apple.QuickTime.plist” file under “%appdata%\Apple Computer\QuickTime\” and  "QuickTime.qtp" file under "%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\QuickTime\" Copy these files and add to the same location in the package.
When you launch the shortcut, a dialog box appears asking for file association, add the below registry key to suppress this.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Apple Computer, Inc.\QuickTime]
"LastFileAssociationCheck"=dword:07688000

  1. We could stop the dialog box that appears asking for file association, replacing only the QuickTime.qtp file.

    We propagate the change using GP at first logon for each user.
