Personnaly I've done like this :
1) renamed wmplayer.exe ( located in C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player ) and refused the restore file processing
2) cleaned the registry with regcleaner , jv16pt and regclean (yes !)
3) associated mp3 files with winamp , avi files with bsplayer ...
It works well this way for me
Hope this helps

sergio is correct, it really only hides it. Sadly Windows Media Player is so integrated into M$ operating systems that rooting it out will destroy Windows itself.
Personally I run most of my media files though QuickTime 6 and Winamp. On the ocassional time that I have no choice but windows media extensions, I let it run. No big woop, but I don't really care to use it much either

You can associate those files with wmp 6.4........it's still available on XP,and a much lighter footprint on your system's resources than wmp8 or 9...
