I really cannot stand using Microsoft's Windows Media Player. However,
Windows XP does not allow me to remove it. So I disabled it for
SeaMonkey, using the Add-ons Manager.
Contained within Windows Media Player at <C:\Program Files\Windows Media
Player\> are two DLL files: npwmsdrm.dll and npdrmv2.dll. These both
involve Microsoft's Digital Rights Management (DRM) capabilities.
Add-ons Manager shows these as enabled despite the fact that Windows
Media Player is disabled.
When I disable Windows Media Player, should not all parts of it also
become disabled? Are the two DRM DLLs used at all when I listen to
streaming music through SeaMonkey via RealPlayer or Winamp? Or are they
strictly for Windows Media Player?
I can't really give a normative answer, but I guess all DLLs
recognized to implement a plugin are handled independently. It is
possible those plugins are interdependent and while having the WMP
plugin disabled the others won't do anything, but I'm not aware of
Mozilla interface which describes such interdependency, therefore
make Mozilla automatically disable all of the related plugins.
