wmi is integral to the operation of Win Me. I would strongly recommend
that you leave it as it is.

Extract from KB article :-
"Error Message: The Initialization of the Help Center Failed"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274736/en-us


"Windows Me Help and Support requires that WMI is set up correctly. WMI
makes Windows manageable by using a single, consistent, standards-based,
extensible and object-orientated interface. WMI is the Microsoft
implementation of Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM), an industry
initiative to develop a standard technology for accessing management
information in an enterprise environment. The purpose of this initiative is
to help companies lower their total cost of ownership by enabling powerful
enterprise-class management of systems, programs, and devices. Many
companies are participating in the WBEM initiative, including BMC Software,
Cisco Systems, Compaq Computer, Intel, and Microsoft."

As Mike and Mart suggested, no one really wants to disable WMI under WinME:
