It's a Win System component and not designed to be removed...just like IE

However...try this. (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/26107/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-player-in-windows-7-to-solve-problems/)

See if it is disabled and enable it. Control Panel, Program and Feature, left pane "Turn Windows featues on and off".
See screenshot.
