Since I use WMI occasionally, I enable both services. For
a non-techie friend I'd probably disable both.


I've no idea whether I have it enabled or disabled (-:

In view of what you say above...

...what are you doing with "geek code" in your sig? Perhaps your
geekiness doesn't cover Windows services but it desn't seem to be
anything to do with Unix either.

Windows and Unix don't have a monopoly on geek codes (-:!

Actually, it's not like any geek code I've ever seen so maybe it's a
****-take? I'd be interested in its meaning, if anything.


It's a very light-hearted one: see

Heaven forbid today's audience should feel bombarded with information or
worse, lectured. Dont'scare the horses by waving facts around.
