If you've never heard of WMI then today's useful utility will probably not benefit you. It's called WMIExplorer and it allows you to easily browse the entire WMI namespace. WMI or Windows Management Instrumentation is a way of accessing a lof of information about a computer. You can access hardware information, software information, even real-time events as things happen. If you poke your head around WMI you might be surprised all that's in there. The problem is, you can't poke your head around WMI. You can write a program to easily enumerate any one area, but there are hundreds of areas. That's where WMIExplorer comes in handy. This program allows you to easily browse the entire WMI landscape and see what you can find.
If you're writing a program and you're going to access WMI for some piece of data, a tool like WMIExplorer is invaluable.
