Without a doubt, you've got a virus or trojan.

For many viruses, worms and trojans, it's difficult to delete
them because they use mutually supportive processes that
respawn / recreate each other.

The normal wmplayer.exe does not do this.

Check out the links in my other post to get cleaned up.

Check the timestamp on the new wmplayer.exe. If it is the same as just
about all of the other files in the Windows folder, then the file is being
recreated by the magic of Microsoft, and not by a trojan.

Actually I think it it does, if System File Checker is on the job. It is
impossible to delete many WinXP system files - even empty directories
under 'my documents' will get re-created as soon as XP notices they have
gone.

It is possible to change this behaviour with some very dodgy edits of
the protected file lists.
