Vista windows media player

Little-Devil

I am currently using windows vista and i want to remove windows media player. I checked add/remove programs and can't find it listed, probably cause its a windows program. I know XP you can select windows programs in add/rem, but i can't find anything like that in Vista.

You cannot entirely remove windows media player , you can roll back to a previous version , the version that came with the install , ( if you upgraded ! ) but you cant remove it entirely ,

If you want to use a different program for media , then use file associations to tie your media files to your preferred player , that way when you click on them they open up in your preferred player and not media centre.

I'm curious as to why you would want to uninstall it?...just don't use it. If you want to use another program to play your media, you can just associate that particular program with the media types.

I'm not sure you can do it in Vista Home as it's integrated with Media Center...you might be able to do it in Vista Ultimate if you go to the "Windows Features" section of Control Panel/Programs and Features.

You cant remove WMP11 from Vista as it is the stock embedded player in the operating system.

It's presence doesn't affect the system in any fashion so I don't really understand why you want to remove it, if you want an alternative use Media Player Classic instead.

{If for a specific reason you need to use an earlier version of WMP use Virtual PC and install XP on it & that will get you WMP9 or 10)
