Thanx for your reply. I've managed to get it correctly by coding like this:

ManagementScope sc = (ManagementScope)scope.Clone();
            sc.Path.NamespacePath = "root\\default"; //StdRegProv is in there
            ManagementPath path = new ManagementPath(string.Format(@"\\{0}\root\Default:StdRegProv", sc.Path.Server));
            regClass = new ManagementClass(sc, path, null);

Scope is initialized earlier like this

ConnectionOptions c = new ConnectionOptions();
            c.Username = "User";
            c.Password = "Password";
            c.Authentication = AuthenticationLevel.Default;
            string path = @"\\Myserver\root\cimv2";
            scope = new ManagementScope(path, c);
            scope.Connect();    

//path is init to ...cimv2 b/c I use it for other objects too
