Dawn,

Open C:\Windows\System32 folder
Right-click mmc.exe and choose Properties
Click the Version tab and check the file version / Company name etc.

Dawn,

It's most likely a malware file, and a 16 bit app. Delete the existing
mmc.exe and have Windows XP issue a fresh copy for you automatically.
Alternately, expand a fresh copy from the source (which is either the
Windows XP CD or the i386 folder in the hard disk)
