I removed Media player from my copy of XP. You have to make sure you delete both the backup copies that Windows makes under the Windows directory (Which there are about 3 directories where you need to delete files). Along with the files in the ?:\Program Files\Windows Media Player. Reboot and you are good to go.
Microsoft is composed of a bunch of lying pussbags.
The person doing the lying here is you my friend. You cannot just go and rip files from the CD and expect it to install properly. You cant do that to an OS already installed either. WM9 is imbedded into the system files and needs to be taken from there not just the prog folder. Talk when you know what your talking about and now was definitely not the time.

If MS wasn't so focussed on embedding every possible technology possible into whatever version of WIndows that's currently in development, they would have pursued a far more rational approach of having independant apps running via the OS. MS has now trouble running IE, and WIndows media as separate apps on the Mac, and except that there are better applications to use, MS's versions run fine.
It would seem that 'Freedom To Innovate' actually contains very little innovation. It's much more to do with eliminating the computer user's choices.

Microsoft shouldn't have to remove Media Player...
I think it sucks that Microsoft is going to have to remove it's media player as a pre-installed software client. If Microsoft can't pre-install their media player, I don't think RealNetworks should be able to theirs, Nor should Apple. I know Microsoft doesn't make the best software apps. in the world, But they have the best Media Player when it comes to streaming audio/video. Compare how good RealOne performs while streaming video from the web with how good Windows Media Player does, and you'll see what I mean ;-)
The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team touched off a storm this week when it recommended for security reasons using browsers other than Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer.

Tommy Jordan, the man who shot his daughter's laptop for YouTube, gets a visit from police and child protection services. Oh, and Good Morning America.
For people who don't have time to tend a Zen garden, the Zen Table will handle the work for you. The table is filled with silicone beads and a robotic system that "rakes" images into the sand.
The Washington State Senate passed a bill that would charge electric car owners $100 per year to compensate for not paying gas taxes. The bill still has to pass the House.

Unfortunity so is the socialist (bordering on communism) nightmare we call the EU.
