Bob,
I am glad that you replied [[in text]] and not in sign language, pictures,
audio or some other method. ;-)
WMI is part of the XP system and just runs once in a while doing various
things. Third party applications can use WMI and so can you, if you're so
inclined.
The WMI Performance Adapter Service (wmiapsrv.exe), for example, will run
and fill %windir%\PCHealth\HelpCtr\DataColl with System History info that
can be viewed in System Information (msinfo32.exe).
winmgmt.exe = Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
Runs under SVCHOST.EXE.
There are a bunch of WMI related files in XP.
Windows Management Infrastructure (WMI) (wmimgmt.msc) is another one.
[Windows Management Instrumentation service
Provides a common interface and object model to access management
information about operating system, devices, applications and services. If
this service is stopped, most Windows-based software will not function
properly.]
From The Elder Geek:
Windows Management Instrumentation Service
[[Real World Description: If you don't want your computer to work, set this
to Disabled. ]]
From Black Viper:
[Windows Management Instrumentation service
This service is required if you want to see the "Dependencies" tab in
service configuration and you want everything to go smoothly. I do not
recommend disabling this service as strange things may start to happen.]
From Snakefoot:
[Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service
Collects and provides system management information by tracking applications
and drivers.
Windows Management Instrumentation(WMI) is an implementation of Distributed
Management Task Force's (DMTF) Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM).
WBEM is a set of open, industry-defined specifications that unify and extend
the management of enterprise-computing environment.
The central part of WMI is the CIMOM (Common Interface Model Object Manager)
which is an interface to the CIM(Common Information Model) which actually is
a data container. WMI makes it possible for drivers, services, applications
to return information in form of data or events into the CIM.]
