after I posted an re-read and it struck me that my above post may come across as sounding condenseding. I assure you that was not my intention.
Also, I thought that I should add that, when I used the above mentioned step, I found that WMP9 wasn't "completely" eliminated - there were a few trace elements left over:
- a few files in the "Documents and Settings\"User Name"\ directories"
- and some invalid (but harmless) entries in the registry
Also, I did recieve an error about unregistering a certain filter, but I can't remember which one..I don't think it was ever present to begin with.
Bottom line was the removal works and whatever reminents left over are beneign (I didn't bother to remove them for a good long time afterwards and there were never any conflicts with anything during the time that they remained present).
The only thing you will have to do is re establish an association with the file types WMP9 became the default player for to your media player of choice (I tend to like a combination of Zoom Player, WMP6, winamp, and PowerDVD)
