You can change the default application for a file:
1) Right-click and select Properties.
2) For Opens with: click the [Change...] button
3) Look for "Quicktime Player" (or whichever application you prefer.)
4) Make sure "Always use the selected to open this kind of file"
is checked.
5) Click "OK" buttons out.
You can do that on your parents machine and it will keep that default
(until possibly a new or reinstall of iTunes.)
