Just remove it with control panel.\n\nWhy do you want to though ... if you have a preferred program just make it the default for opening mp3, wav etc

Start/Settings/Control Panel/Security Center...You can turn it on/off from there\n\nEDIT:  Sorry! Had a brain fart...wasn't paying attention. I thought you were talking about Media Center.\n\nTry going here (if you haven't already) and click on support tab...\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsme/

Go into my documents. Open the My music folder and delete the songs u ripped. When windows media player can't find the file it will delete them.\n\nFrom windows media player, right click on song, then delete. \nIt should give you the option, just to delete from media player, keepin the file in the My Music folder. Or the chose to delete both.

You can't delete/remove Windows Media Player. It is integrated into the Windows OS.\n\nWhat you can do, is to goto the Microsoft website and download a new and free version of the latest Media player and install it. That installation will repair anything that is currently wrong.\n\nIf you only want to repair a current media player installation, and if you have never upgraded in the past, then unfortunately, the only method would be to re-install/restore Windows as suggested by Microsoft Support. For some reason-known only to them- they do no provide a 'repair' option for the media player component.

Well the easiest way to do that without losing anything else on your computer would be to uninstal Media Player 10 and go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/alldownloads.aspx\nat the top it you will have to choose the version that you would like to have, and from there you can install media player 9. :) HAVE FUN!\nKayla

Don't use "Windows media player"! I use "Nero" to burn my MP3 cd's.

no, your songs are kept as files on your PC.  windows media player is in a folder of its own.  Uninstallign it will only delete the files relevant to the program.\n\nYou may lose play lists etc which are linked to WMP

Wel maybe the files its still in use by a program. Try CTRL+ALT+DEL to see the programs that are currently running and terminate those related to WindowsMediaPlayer in the Process Tab. There you will find a file named "wmplayer.exe" or similar, select it then "Finish" the process.\n\nAfter that, go and try to delete your file.\n\nThis method is similar to the above that said to reboot and/or go to SafeMode because that way you force all the programs to go down.
