the add remove prgrams does not remove media player.
it only removes access to media player.
e.g removes the shortcut from the start menu etc.

Exactly,use a better player like BSPlayer which is the best one I have used so far cuz it is easy,good and doesnīt take up so much memory like Media Player does

Windows Media Player versions 7 and later have progressively MORE anti-copy measures put in, file monitoring (by Microsoft), security holes as bad or worse than the ones in Outlook and Internet Explorer (I had a fake 'MP3' file that was a vbs script virus -- WMP ran it despite being mis-named without even a WARNING!), and is just slow BLOATWARE.
