winmgmt slowdown
Carl Stephenson
I notice winmgmt listed. Is this what's slowing things down? What does
winmgmt do? -Carl Stephenson

pchschd.exe (the PCHealth entry in MSConfig | Startup and the PCHealth Data
Collection entry in the Task Scheduler) and/or MSInfo32.exe or the System
Information in Help & Support. Normally winmgmt should exit when it has
collected its data but there have been a number of similar reports (and I
have experienced the problem as well) of winmgmt.exe not exiting correctly
and staying resident and gradually using more and more cpu cycles until the
system grinds to a halt. In such cases I have simply killed winmgmt.exe and
continued without further problem.
See MS KB Q278449 "Description of Windows Millennium Edition System
Information (Msinfo32.exe) Tool"
(http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q278/4/49.ASP) which
contains some information regarding data collected by winmgmt.exe. Quoting
Microsoft "WMI is the Microsoft implementation of Web-Based Enterprise
Management (WBEM), an industry initiative to develop a standard technology
for accessing management information in an enterprise environment. The
purpose of this initiative is to help companies lower their total cost of
ownership by enabling powerful enterprise-class management of systems,
programs, and devices." Not something really of much interest to the home
user of Me unless perhaps they seek support from Microsoft.

topic, is there a site that provides optimal set-up information for smaller
group users? Such as sgl. user, home based, noncommercial. That may show and
explain the different "tweaks" that one can apply for start-up and smooth system
operation and conserve space. Such as how to remove Find Fast and MDM. Thank
You. Take Care. B.

Not that I know of but then again I have to admit I have not gone looking
for such a site. I'm sure they exist. I frequently see references from
other posters mentioning sites recommending some tweak or other.
Unfortunately the recommendation is often to do something with which I do
not agree or is clearly in error so I rarely follow up such links.
Hopefully someone will be able to provide you with a suitable and useful
link or two.
Regards and best wishes,

accepted "tweaks". Will continue searching. Take Care. B.

menu - very easy, no problems. This also removed many performance problems.

Mike Maltby can answer most any question and can advise about almost any tweak!
I'm quite sure he knows about

Pay the closest attention to anything Alex says.

Paul Thurrott's site is a wide-ranging discussion of all Windows issues

These sites devoted to hardware issues are superb, IMO
