How to keep WMI/GlobalLogger turned off

Windows\system32\Logfiles\WMI\trace.log keeps growing to fill up the hard drive.   I have read and tried all of the suggestions on Experts-Exchange.  The best idea seems to be to set  HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\GlobalLogger subkey START = 0.  But when I restart the PC or certain events occur, the subkey START goes to 1.  How can I keep this set to 0?   Thanks /Howard

I'm confused by this process.  
I'm more confused by this process
After lots of confused by this process or what went wrong, please close it.
I finally wrote a batch file in the Startup which changed the GlobalLoging from 1 to 0 at startup.  This is a good workaround. No other solution stopped the problem from returning in days or weeks.
