I'm pretty sure you can disable WMC without affecting the decoders. I believe I have it disabled on my main system. I expect WMP relies on the decoders, so if it is enabled, the decoders should work regardless of the status of WMC. Try it and see!
You might also program the Guide button to F1 to see if that "decouples" from WMC. (I don't know if F1 is also the Guide button in WMC.)
