    GUIDS - Quick question.

    This is from the top of my head so its not 100% correct

    A microsoft GUID is simply a compound of numbers and letters that depend on the systems hardware, time, and various types of variables.

    Format:
    {xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx}

    X can be anything from 1 - 0 or A to Y?
    its something like that anyway...

    Sooo... what im asking is:

    instead of using a GUID, couldent i simply make a random value for every X and it would be just as good as a MS Guid?

    ok, so... windows takes 1 minute to search for a file on my PC yet google.com takes 1 second to search the entire internet?
