Who would put that piece of bloatware on thier computer to begin with??

Its 22.9m,its horrible........

The best way to uninstall it is to make sure the application is not running,delete everything you can find to do with it,then run a registry cleaner such as REGSEEKER (www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm),let it clean your registry,then you should be able to put 10 or 9 back on.....

See it wont let you cause its in the registry (The newer version),but cleaning your registry usually does the trick....

Good luck to all

odd
I find the new wmp very good!
a lot less resource intensive as 10 and I like the interface of the organizer. although I must admit, I don't use it.. I have a detailed folder organisation on my hd :D
