Definately sounds like you've associated executables with Quicktime somehow. Just open my computer, and then your C drive and select View, Options or Folder Options and take a look at file types. Check and see what Quicktime is assocaited with. If you find exe in there that needs to be removed.

The only other thing I can think of would to be in Internet Explorer click on Tools > Internet Options > Advanced and click the Restore Defaults button. See if that helps at all.

Or when your at the site where you want to download the exe file right click the link and select save target as this should give you your save as dialogue box.

Good luck.
