There are also programs that clean up your registry for you with varying degrees of success. ummm, what do you "startup registry" ? Rick |

Does your registry report the path to the $winmgmt file?
Does the file exist at that location? If so, what does its property sheet report about its author? There is a legitimate Windows file, winmgmt.exe, at Windows\System\WBEM, and a $winmgmt.cfg, at ...\WBEM\Respository. -- Jack E.
