NT apparently does already do a serial number off your MAC address if you
have a NIC. It's called a GUID. Now last night being curious I ran Regedit
and snooped for everything that said "GUID" and found several of them. Seems
there are lots of these. Anyone know which one is the "real" GUID and what
the others are for?
