Where is Quicktime Player 7 on my system?

I recently discovered that I still have QT 7 on my system when I did an "open with". I found my old QT7 Pro reg and entered it and it worked (now I have the A/V controls etc). The odd thing is I can't see the application anywhere. It doesn't appear anywhere in my Applications folder or in iCloud folder. Apparently the only way to access it is through the "open with" command. So where is the QT 7 application launching from???

Use the Spotlight search from the menu bar to try to find it. If Spotlight finds it, you can hold down the Command key and it will show you the Finder location for it next to the result and open Finder to it when you click on it while holding the Command key down.


It may have been moved out of the Applications folder, or may be in another users folder.

Thank you. that's an excellent idea (why didn't I think of it duh). Crazy thing is, after trying again, Quicktime Player 7 no longer even showed up in the "open with" menu so I ended up re-downloading it from Apple Support. Installation placed it in the Utilities Folder. All seems to be OK now. That was weird because before re-downloading, it seemed invisible. Thanks again.
