Quick Time interfering with default viewer

There is a default viewer (i.e., Microsoft Office Image) on a site that I use. When I click on an image on that site, QuickTime opens the image instead of the Microsoft application.

How do I stop this kind of behavior?

Thanks!

Solved my own problem:

QuickTime runs instead of AlternaTIFF.
Unless you configure it not to, QuickTime may register itself as your TIFF file viewer, thus disabling AlternaTIFF.
The following instructions describe how to configure QuickTime to not handle TIFF files. Note that some versions of QuickTime are slightly different. Very old versions (before 4.1) are very different, and you might consider upgrading or uninstalling.
1. From the Start menu, select "Control Panel".
2. [Windows XP] If it says "Pick a category", click "Switch to Classic View" at the upper-left.
3. Double-click the "QuickTime" icon.
4. From the drop-down list, select "Browser Plug-in".
5. Click the "MIME Settings" button.
6. Double-click the "Images ..." item to expand it.
7. If the "TIFF ..." or "image/tiff" item is checked, uncheck it.
8. Press the "OK" button, and close the "QuickTime Settings" window by clicking the X in the upper-right corner.
