Stop Quicktime from Autostarting

I hate programs that autostart without my permission. Normally, Codestuff Starter does an excellent job of stopping these annoying little TSR's, but for some reason, it doesn't stop Qttask.exe (Quicktime's annoying little program that loads at startup).

I found the solution here:

Start Regedit (Start - Run - Regedit)
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,Software,Microsoft,Windows,CurrentVersion,Run
Double-click Quick Time Task put semicolon in front of "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
Click OK
Close Regedit
