how to enter #PRAGMA AUTORECOVER in mof files

I have a recurring WMI error 10 report. I have tried what I can find, and
understand, from web searching. I tried recompiling the MOF file but had a
number of reports ending "To include this MOF file when the WMI Repository
is automatically reconstructed, place the #PRAGMA AUTORECOVER statement on
the first line of the MOF file."
I have open one of the files using notepad and indeed it didn't have #PRAGMA
AUTORECOVER. But the file is clearly locked and I am unable to save the
amended mof file.
I would be grateful for how to carry out these amendments to so as to see
if this does solve the WMI error. But I am not too expert at this things so
please make it "simple". Thanks.

I would stop the WMI service, and edit the MOF, and restart the WMI service.
From a command prompt:
net stop wmimgmt
<edit MOF>
net start wmimgmt

Thanks fro reply. Regrtably all I get is at the comand prompt

System error 1060 has occurred.

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

It sounds like Malware has stopped your RPC service. I would do a scan for
an invader.

the /salvagerepository switch should have functioned without the
modification of any MOF files if the service will run. I would leave the
service running and try the command again, from a Command Prompt (rightclick
the icon, to 'run as administrator')

winmgmt /salvagerepository
