Task is converting a second-hand laptop for personal use:
it was formerly owned by an IT consult and may have been
on a highly secure server network. Problems:

1 = clutter, viz. software I do not want, e.g. McAfee
(uninstalled) and in particular WMI = Windows Management
Interface and MMC = Microsoft Management Console.
(WMI appeared to interfere with task 2.)

2 = connecting the laptop (device 2D) to my home network linking
2C = WinXP PC by wireless to the router (2A) into which are jacked
a Win98 PC (2B) and a wireless modem (2E). The laptop is jacked
into the router and reaches the Internet OK, but does not see and
is not seen by 2B and 2C. These two see each other OK (and
the router and Internet.)

I do not need and have no use for WMI and MMC. WMI was
removed by the ResKit tool INSTSRV but this did not permit
the laptop to see the network. Laptop /Network / Device / Ethernet
card / Properties remains unavailable, reporting WMI corrupted, just
as it did before WMI was deactivated. If these softwares prevent
network configuration, how do I remove or deactivate MMC?

I thought that what you see in the control panel under Administrative tasks
are actually snapins for MMC. Thus,
I can't see why you want to remove MMC even if you could.
