Win32-ComponentCategory

Description

The Win32_ComponentCategory WMI class represents a component category. Component categories are groups of COM classes with a defined functionality set shared between them. A client using these interfaces queries the registry for the category title and unique identifier called CategoryID, which is created from a globally unique identifier (GUID).
