Quicktime still opening TIF's in IE after being disabled in MIME settings - how to correct
We had a few clients having issues opening TIF files through the browser after installing Quicktime (for iTunes most likely). We ran through the following instructions to change the Quicktime preferences, restarted the browser, and even the computer and it did not work. Clicking TIF files in the browser still attempts to open it in Quicktime, which does not work. Saving the TIF to the desktop and opening it that way works, but our clients would prefer to have it work the way it did before just clicking the TIF in their browser.
We offered the suggestion of removing Quicktime, one client was okay with that, several others were not. We tried disabling the Quicktime add-on for IE and then clicked a TIF, it showed up as a "red X" in the top left. We'd simply like this to skip Quicktime and open it in Windows Picture Manager or whatever software we choose using "Open With..."

Can't you just change the file association for TIF using TOOLS: FOLDER OPTIONS:FILE TYPES in any folder window?
Just to confirm, opening it from windows in general works? Otherwise the solution is Shift-Right-Click, Open With. Choose the program and make sure "always use this program" is checked.
To fix it from within IE for quicktime, you'll have to change the files that quicktime uses. That's within the options from Quicktime program itself.
