How do I uninstall Windows Media Player 9 Series in my Mac?

Today, I downloaded the .bin file named "WindowsMediaInstaller.bin" thru
Microsoft's website. After following the required steps, Windows Media Player
was installed sucessfully in my disk. Now I simply want to remove it but I'm
not sure how I can do it.

Could you please help me?

Thanks.

Sure:
- trash the WMP folder that has hte app itself
- trash the corresponding Inter Plug-in in the Plug in folder in
/Library
- trash the WMP pref and .plist from the ~/Library/Preferences folder
(the one in your user account)

hold down the alt-key and select "empty the trash" from the icon of the
Trash in the Dock,
