Default Windows Media Player Loads When Computer Starts *Make it Stop*

Every time I start my computer Media Player loads; so startup takes for ever. How do I make it stop?

running XP?

Run 'msconfig' for the start>run menu and remove it from the startup list.

There is also a cool little ap called "startup cpl" that gives you a lot more options. It's useful for those annoying programs, like Quicktime, that simply refuse to make it easy on you.
