I do not think so. The procedure that you described is recommended for
the case that the WMI does no longer work well and there is no
recommendation to save Internet login data before
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=319101).
WMI has nothing to do with the Internet: "WMI publishes information,
configures device settings, and supplies event notification from
device drivers. WMI is part of the Win32® Driver Model (WDM)
architecture; however, it has broad utility and can be used with other
types of drivers as well (such as SCSI and NDIS)." (Microsoft Hardware
White Paper: Windows Management Instrumentation).

I would start with a repair reinstallation of Windows: "How to Perform

This is "by design". Ask IBM for if you can get a true Windows-CD for
your computer or buy a full version in your local software store.
