I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, and therefore have Quicktime X in addition to Quicktime 7 Pro (I paid the $30 to upgrade). Since I have the Pro version of Quicktime 7, I want all movie files to open with Quicktime 7. I opened the Get Info window for a.mov file I just downloaded, switched the default application to Quicktime 7, and pressed the 'Change All' button. However, if I close the Get Info window and open it back up, the default application has switched back to Quicktime Player Launcher. How do I get Quicktime 7 to be the default application for all Quicktime files? Set QuickTime 7 as Default The current version of QuickTime 7 (download and SnowLeopard optional install) includes a resource file that reroutes things to QuickTime X. To get rid of it (at your own risk, by the way), do the following: 1) Go to the QT7 icon in the Apps Utilities folder and drag it into your Applications folder for convenience.

If you wish, you can drag the QT X icon into the Utilities folder. 2) Right click on the QT7 icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. Open the Resources folder and locate the item named 'QuickTime Player Launcher'. (It has a QTX icon.) 2) Drag it out onto your desktop and close the QT7 contents window. 3) Select any movie on your machine and do a 'Get Info'. Go to the 'Open with:' section and select QT7 from the list, then click on the 'Change All' button That's it. If you start feeling guilty, you can return the resource to the QT7 contents resources subfolder and say three Hail Marys and two Our Fathers.
If you are the more bold and audacious sort, however, pause for a moment to admire the sumptuously beautiful QTX icon, then chuck it in the trash.
