Hm... if you installed Media Player from Windows Update, then you'll have to check through the hotfixes you've installed in order to remove it. (You'll have to do a lookup on the knowledge base on the hotfix number.)
Incidently, it is possible to remove MSN Messenger. If you set the group policies to not allow Messenger to run, then it makes Outlook load really slow. However, if you were lucky enough to guess the uninstall sequence was:
Code:
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
then you can remove it safely.
On that note, why the hell does XP force you to run Messenger when you run Outlook, anyway? (rhetorical question)
