While doing updates, I noticed one for Windows Media Player 6, and I am thinking 'what the heck do I need with WMP6!?'.
Can I kill it, and any other redundant programs? Like perhaps maybe all those ".nets"?

WMP is part of Windows and if having problems with Windows it will come back at some point during a repair. It would be possible to uninstall it in Add or Remove Programs, probably in Windows Components. Also, some multi-media features on Web sites will look for it and probably some programs, that's a minor downside with many things bundled into the Operating System.
