Don't clean your registry manually, use

scanreg /fix from a DOS boot, or scanregw/fix from a DOS window.

There are also programs that clean up your registry for you with varying
degrees of success.


ummm, what do you "startup registry" ?

Does your registry report the path to the $winmgmt file?
Does the file exist at that location?
If so, what does its property sheet report about its author?

There is a legitimate Windows file, winmgmt.exe, at Windows\System\WBEM, and
a $winmgmt.cfg, at ...\WBEM\Respository.
