Vart: I was hoping for a technique that as long as I had the same hardware, I would always be able to reproduce the same results. If I was forced to do a reinstall of the OS because of registry...
MarioF: I would not be using Microsoft's method of generating a GUID if I populated a GUID structure using random number info. The GUID I created would be an illegal GUID and could conflict with...
I am familiar with CoCreateGUID and UUIDCreate methods of generating GUIDs. However, I was wondering if there was any technique for generating GUIDs where you could reproduce the results. Basically...
