Okay. How do I uninstall Windows Media Player and Outlook Express, like, utterly, so even Windows Update doesn’t whine at me that I haven’t updated 'em? I somehow think that just tossing the folders in the Recycle Bin will work.
Windows Media Player: Buy Microsoft Windows XP N.
Outlook Express: You can’t.
You could of course try and delete all the folders, but then you’d have to muck around in the registry and probably break everything to make it stop complaining. Just ignore them. That’s what everyone else does.
As long as we are on this, is there a way to downgrade WMP?
No, not really, but you could always use Media Player Classic.
As Nulani said to all questions: no. You can also turn off the autoupdater and make sure you don’t turn on either program to not get any notices. T-bird and MPC work nicely to replace each.
