Stop wmplayer.exe from running in the background on Vista

wmplayer.exe is always running on my Vista Laptop (Dell XPS M1530).I tried killing it but it comes back again and eats up a lot of memory.I checked windows services and did not find any windows media player service running.Here is the configuration of the Media Player services on my laptop.

Dell Premium Remote Control Service ( WMPCONTROLLERSERVICE.EXE ) was causing this.Once I uninstalled this, the problem went away.
