- Make a backup of the registry.
- Use Eusing's Registry Defragment program to compact the registry files. As time goes by the registry gets more and more bloated.

- You must compare the visible content of that part of the registry (export it first) and the file "wmimgmt.reg" (open them with e.g. Notepad). If they are the same before you change that from "netsvc" to "winmgmt" then you can replace "winmgmt.reg" with your own version.

- In the days of Windows XP everyone was running a 32 bit system. But as time went by more and more people started to use a 64 bit systems. It seems it was MS made a mistake here at this point. I am NOT convinced that Shane is able to provide a solution for this problem/mistake.
- The 2 repairs called "Repair WMI" and "Restore Important Services" both write the info from "Winmgmt.reg" into/to the registry.
