System Information does not appear in Computer Management

Just noticed something in Windows XP that I cannot seem to
find an explanation for. System Information does not
appear in the Computer Management window, nor can it be
added to mmc. It seems as if System Information is no
longer a Snap in. In Windows 2000, when you right click
on My Computer and select Manage to open the Computer
Management screen, System Information is listed directly
under Event Viewer. Id not see this in WIndows XP.
Anyone have any ideas on why this is and is there any way
I can see System Information on the Computer Management
screen in Windows XP.

Thanks.

Matt

Looks like ms decided to not include it in computer management. Probably
cause there are at least two other ways to view it.
