How do I permanently remove Windows Media player?

Did a search on this forum, didn't find anything helpful.
I am running windows XP and installed windows media 9, after trying and testing it out, I decided I will just stick with either Windows Media 7 or the little windows movie player.

I already removed it from Windows components and deleted the program folder but it keeps poping up. Any way to down grade or permanently remove guys?

From what I'm reading, I do not think its worth the risk.

Why would you want to remove WMP? I upgraded to WMP 9 and I love it. I don't use any other media player at all.
