I have to agree, WMP screws things up and so far I havn't gotten any answers on how to fix it. Anyway, mind explaining your question a bit more?

Yes, of course, you can dig around in the Registry - I am fond of doing that myself.

A lot of people would rather not.

Excellent my feelings also.

You can also uninstall WMP by going to Start > Run and type optionalfeatures under the Media Features section.
