Re: windows can not find compmgmt.msc

Follow the advice in the other replies. If those don't fix your issue, your file associations may be screwed. You can try repairing the association for MSC files. See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Fixes, File Assocation Fixes. Download and import the REG file for MSC file associations.
