if u r not comfy with the registry : winxp manager has the best and the easiest rt-click options manager (add/deleter) imo.

but if u r refering 2 d quicklaunch on the rt side of the start button, then jst rt clk on the unwanted icon and delet it.

Open regedit and goto:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory

Now under this key u'll get those entries for WMP in shell and shellex keys. Just remove the entries, which u don't want.
