How to prevent migration to WMP 11

[NYDIA]

I am using windows XP SP3 with Windows Media Player 11. I managed to turn and WPM 10 was relocated to the place, and that is what I wanted. For movement the "Automatic Updates" will want to install WMP 11 over the next occasion, which i don't want. It's such crap that WMP 11. How to prevent this migration to WMP 11 without blocking other upgrades (fixes security flaws for example) that would arise at the same time?

Windows Media Player 8 and later versions: After you disable the automatic update check by using the registry, the Check for Player Updates option under the Help menu is not available. Additionally, the Check for updates options are not available under Automatic Updates on the Player tab of the Media Player Options dialog box.
