Default delete WMP

How do I delete Windows Media Player 9 from my computer? It came with Windows XP. I don't want it. I prefer iTunes.

I don't know if it is really possible to remove it, but if you go to Start-->Control Panel-->Add/Remove Programs-->Add/Remove Windows Components you can uninstall it but everytime you try and play an unassigned file the WMP installer pops back up.

There probably is a way to totally remove it, but I don't know how.

This should help though if you figure that out, because uninstalling before deleting is the way to go.

I don't like WMP. But I heard a city or something sued microsoft for their media player. So they made versions of Windows XP with out WMP. I wish I had a copy of it.

Make sure iTunes is the default for playing wma files & all other mp3 & m4a files. Then try uninstalling it. Else just make sure wmp is not the default to play any files. lol

I set iTunes to my default player for all music files. But i'm talking about WMP 9. That comes built in with Windows XP. Which I have.
