Now that I've got MPlayer, I wanan get rid of WMP, but whenever I move the folder into the Trash, it says files being locked, and to continue, and I press continue over and over and it doesnt go away. Any help?

highlight the app (one click) then command+i or right click for info, your info window will come up....... about half way down you'll see locked or Ownership permissions, set as you prefer locked or unlocked...I'm no tech but I'd give that a shot, someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.

It's unchecked, and still won't let me delete. I downloaded that Trash It thing too, but it asks me to locate the 2U4 or something installer....

you shouldn't have to download anything to delete an application. try opening up your Apple/ system preferences. it should be there on the bottom, right cilck it to remove it give that a go

Hmm, I opened up system preferences then I emptied the trash, and it'd magically gone! Weird...
