I’m aware this trick only works for Windows 7 in every version, but I’ve heard people have some results in Windows XP and Vista in being able to downgrade to Windows Media Player 9, if not an even earlier version by using Revo Uninstaller/Unlocker to delete and uninstall shell programs. It is not common place to be doing this tip, I show it only out of the interest of people that use a third party browser and wish to use it only, with no options for IE. Keep in mind, we are not completely removing them from the kernel, let alone the actual operating system itself, we are removing the executable file that offers the link to them. If you use a different audio/media player and different browser that does not use Internet Explorer as it’s base, such as Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Opera Software’s Opera browser. If you use IE as a base, you might want to keep it. At the same time, my first tip I showed, how to get ‘Now Playing’ working in Windows Media Player in a different media player, will no longer work. There is also the chance of other breakages as well, but I can’t promise anything, as I’ve noticed nothing else missing when I did this myself.
