Do you want to disable WMP or just remove the icon from the task bar? Here are some examples on how to disable WMP which also removes the icon from the taskbar.

 

To service an offline image, specify the location of the mounted image directory. For example, type:

Dism /Image:C:\test\offline /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:MediaPlaybackDism /Image:C:\test\offline /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:WindowsMediaPlayerDism /Image:C:\test\offline /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:MediaCenterDism /Image:C:\test\offline /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:OpticalMediaDisc

The same can be done to a live system, for example you can service the image at the time of installation with an answer file. for using DISM in setupcomplete.cmd like this.

Dism /online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:MediaPlayback

or

Dism /online /Apply-Unattend:C:\test\answerfiles\myunattend.xml

Hi... try reg attached... You can add to Registry as LangBar method... I only test in a Recent install Win7 system (apply reg and reboot), but I think so work...

Regards... ;-)

 

p.d.: With this reg file only IE and Explorer links are pinned in Taskbar...

alfire's solution looks good, if all you want to do is remove the symbolic links from the task bar.
