Who's your Daddy MacBook Pro? The ThinkPad T61p

Fixing Quicktime Error 46: Could not load or find the QuickTime ActiveX control

I've been fixing some stuff on my home Dell XPS 420 and in the investigation to fix a Zune issue, I ran into a Quicktime issue.  I'll get to the Zune issue in a moment although interestingly enough the fix was strikingly similar.  First the
