FAT64 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Well, in XP it's ...Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows ComponentsNot sure if it's the same with Server 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfiddler Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) Hello,It could also be under Change or Remove Progams in the Add or Remove Programs screen with Server 2003. I can't remember if 2003 came with 9 or 10 pre-installed.Regards,Dan Edited December 5, 2006 by flyingfiddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Well, considering that unchecking the Windows Media Player option doesn't actually uninstall it at all on XP (it hides all icons and clears file associations, but the binaries are all still on disk and registered in the registry), I'm not surprised you aren't given the option on Server 2003. We won't go into the discussion of why a server OS needs a media player (even TS you'd never want to stream or view media over RDP), but anyway...
