Why does it force me to download Quicktime when I download iTunes? Even when I delete Quicktime from my PC it doesn't let iTunes run.
Does iTunes require Quicktime? Because I dont even use Quicktime and it seems to be wasting my PCs space and slowing it down.

Because Apple enjoy forcing their proprietary claptrap software on users.

That's odd. I have iTunes installed at work and I'm not aware I have Quicktime. It's quite possible that I do have QT installed and am not aware of it. Time to find a different program to load songs onto my Ipod I guess.

Up until the last version of iTunes, you could opt not to install QT. They've now made it part of iTunes tp enable integration of movie playback from the iTunes Store.
The only resource hog from QT is QTtray.exe (iirc that's what it's called) which is a start up processess which needs disabling via regedit and deleting from the QT directory. Other then that, you'll never notice it.

Can you install Quicktime without having to install iTunes?
I have no need for iTunes on my work PC but would like QT for viewing videos off of the web :|

I tried recently and it came bundled with iTunes5. Fortunately I had an older installer and just updated once it'd been installed...

Are you sure it's that drastic? I'm sure you can disable it from within the preferences accessed from the tray icon.
It certainly doesn't run on my machine, and I've never had to tinker with the registry to do it.

Sorry, that's the Tray icon, there's another QT process which does nothing called qttask.exe, which is the one I meant.

I don't have that either?!
I only recently installed the latest iTunes, and as I said, I haven't edited the registry at all.
Not that I doubt you... I just find it strange that it's not there.

It should be under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
