If you wish to remove movie maker which is not a simple task,since it is intergrated into Windows XP,to remove would require the reinstalling of the operating system and doing a custom installation whereas you would select what programs would load,during the setup process.
This would be Custom Installation,choose this option.

movie maker is listed in Add/Remove, but you have to select the tab at the top of the windows for windows components, go to Multimedia and uncheck the movie maker option.

Good Luck
