How do I disable Quicktime from playing .mpg files in browser?

[tigerx82]

I have Avant, IE and Firefox and quicktime always plays the .mpg files i try to view inside a browser window, I would prefer this opens in an external windows media player but quicktime always gets to it.

I have tried all the obvious options as far as file type associations. Does anyone have any helpful info on how to do this? Thanks in advance

You have to change the file type association through Windows Exporer:
- Windows Explorer>tools>folder options>file types. Scroll down to mpg. click "Change" and select the app you want to view the mpg files with.

yeah, actually, i had to go into control panel...click quicktime. and disable mpegs under "MIME TYPES"

Thanks

No problem. Just a quick point: you originally wrote mpg files but, in your reply, you wrote mpeg. They're two different file types. You still might want to go through Windows Explorer and make sure you have the app you want associated with the two file types.
