I downloaded Urge onto my media player, now I don't want it. How do I get rid of it? I am very computer challenged, so please try to explain in simple terms. Thank you.

Uninstalling Media Player 10 beta using find:

If you're thinking about trying to remove Media Player 10 beta using the find command and deleting the results, forget about. This will not work and will likely crash your system!
Removing Windows Media Player 10 beta bottom line:

Make sure you have created a restore point before you install Media Player 10 beta (Media Player 10 beta likely did this for you). You can uninstall Media Player by rolling back to your restore point. Here is how to find that:

* Go to the add / remove programs in control panel. If you're using XP SP2, you'll see a 'show updates' box at the top of the add / remove programs. Turn it on.
* Select "Windows Media Player 10".

You can't remove Windows Media Player entirely - it is not possible! You can revert back to a previous version, but uninstalling it altogether is not possible.
Uninstall Media Player 10 Beta - fine print:

If you look at the end user license agreement, you notice this text:
Note: This is a beta release. Windows XP users will need to use the System Restore feature to return to their previous player. Please read the release notes before installing.
