Re: WMI question [7 Attachments]

Hi Everyone,
  Thanks for all of the replies. If anyone wants to take a look, the project
contains several different files, I just tried to zip the entire project and
have attached it to this reply but google is being difficult, so I sent the
individual files instead. My build environment is XP Pro Sp2, MSVC6.0
Professional and the I am running these tests under an administrator
account. The zip file contains a 'Read This' text file that contains some
important information and the code is well commented. I have been
experimenting with the code since my last post and I have detailed my
discoveries in the code comments. Thanks in advance for any pointers (no pun
intended : ) that may point out something I over looked.

I just found out that google will not let me attach a lib file that is
needed for the project. the file is WbemUuid.lib, if your SDK's are up to
date, you should have it already.
