"Just to be abundantly clear-- are you saying that even deinstalling the
program won't help? It sounds like you are."
If you find a way to deinstall Windows Media Player, and back out its
patches to the operating system, which already will stop some files from
playing if copy protection is defeated, let me know. There sure isn't any
way to do it in the add/remove programs feature. And Microsoft even tells
you this when their updates come through.
I'm sure that pretty soon, opening music files will call the operating
system for signature checks as part of the file open function. Microsoft
wants to be the copyright arbiter for all media and they're well on the way.
