Media player 11 is, media player 12 is for windows 7.

No, I found some Windows media player 12 files that can be patched with the existing WMP11 in Windows XP. When I tried to to replace the files , wmploc.dll in Windows\system32 is automatically recreated . I want to delete this file permanently .

I'm not certain but maybe deleting the file(s) wmploc.dll in winsxs might help to stop it from being re-created in system32?

Do it from another OS. You may also have to turn system protection off
