Solution 1

You can generate those from Visual Studio (Tools / Create Guid).

Create GUID in Visual Studio 2008/[^]

1) No it cannot be anything. It must be unique globally).

2) It should be easy to find example on the web. The tool allows to create in a variety of format.

3) The value is generated according to some rule to ensure uniqueness.

WOW, great help. (the first line).. thought that a 128^2 number would be a relatively small.
Also you think you can help me create a registry entry?
(im so stupid, thank you)

128^10 my bad, running on lucozade.. (its the possible total amount of numbers of GUID's [if my math is good, i think])

It's kinda complex explain all that stuff here... Create an ATL application with the wizard or search the web for complete COM/ActiveX samples and then adapt it.

Solution 2

This should help create an ATL project with C++ (i think) it is also the generally accepted code for creating DESKBANDS/DESKBARS[^]
