    I do not have an iPod. Is it safe to delete the iTunes folder without affecting QuickTime Player?

    Hi

    Yes but double check first that you have no reference to iTunes in Add/Remove.

    Which Windows version as you may need to be logged in as admin if XP or Vista.

    Thank you for your answer, but I have to inquire what you mean by "have no reference to iTunes in Add/Remove". I have Windows XP (I think...)

    I found what you are talking about. It is on my Internet Explorer Toolbar, but it is not available in Customize Command Bar/Add or Remove Commands.

    Hi

    More thinking that in XP > Control Panel > Add/Remove applications that iTunes is not listed, if so you can if not needing iTunes uninstall it and leave Quicktime alone and working fine as you dont need both installed for Quicktime to work as its a standalone application.

    This might not be relevant...

    I use iTunes for searching music but don't play music or download with it. But, every time I open iTunes it creates a new iTunes folder in "My Music". Deleting it doesn't effect anything, including QuickTime. It just creates a new one whenever I open iTunes again.
