Q: Installation Issues

When I install QuickTime there's a checkbox for "Automatically Update QuickTime for Windows (aka Apple Software Update)". I leave that box empty (so that it DOESN'T install). But when it's done installing, I check my Start Menu and Apple Software Update is at the top of my list (when I told it not to be). Why's this keep happening?

Windows 7 Starter, Windows 7

A:
No, what you have is Apple Software Update program is installed, but it isn't checking for or downloading updates automatically.

You can change the preference at any time.

There are other programs installed, some that I always remove, like MobileMe and Bonjour.

You can change what programs are listed, but all it is, is part of Recent Programs (for easy access to open and make changes) and of course you can change that to not show on Task Bar or Start Menu.

Maybe a manual on Windows?
