My question is probably poorly formulated.
In fact -- as I discovered -- some WMI objects reflect their values in
the Windows Registry keys (for example there is mapping
“root\cimv2:Win32_OSRecoveryConfiguration.AutoReboot” in
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl\AutoReboot”).
Is there some *common* attribute of WMI/COM/OLE objects giving the key path?
Is it possible to determine (by some manual/automatic iteration), for
example which WMI/COM object sets
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\VerboseStatus”?

I must say that wmiweb is a great application.

Thank you
