re: Uninstall Windows Media Player from XP Saturday, May 8, 2004 at 9:20 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mary (1 messages posted) Hi, I've been reading this thread and conclude that I can't uninstall Windows Media Player. I can live with this but what is annoying me is that last week Windows Media Player 9 now all of a sudden starts up everytime I turn my computer on. It doesn't just put a little icon on the menu bar; the whole program is open on my screen. As far as I am aware no one here downloaded version 9 so I don't know why this is suddenly happening! In fact we don't even use Windows Media Player as we use Music Matchbox. The only way I can figure out for WMP not to start up is to go into msconfig and take the check out of the box on the startup tab. But then everytime I turn my computer on I get a message that I have a custom configuration and it takes me to msconfig. geesh... Is there a way to have WPM sit quiety on my computer and not start up when the computer is turned on?
