why?
To remove it you must first delete these files
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\moviemk.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\wmmfilt.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\wmmres.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\wmmutil.dll
Then delete all the files in this folder.
C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\
and any shortcuts you may have of it in the start menu
that is all.
Here's a batch that will do it automatically for you.
(not the shortcut in startmenu)
Totally safe - it deletes only those files.Say "Y" es to the one question.

Why do you wanna delete it? it only needs ~ 20 MB.
I wanted to delete it myself simply cause i hate it -only output is wmv and anything i dont want should not be forced on my pc.
And microsoft could have politly offered the option of allowing us to remove it.

Here is a better version.
@echo off
del "%SystemRoot%\system32\dllcache\*wmm*.dll"
del "%SystemRoot%\system32\dllcache\moviemk.exe"
del "%ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker\*.*"
rmdir /s "%ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker"
pause
Save it in notepad with a .bat extention.
@reply on
