<P>COM requires that all objects use a unique CLSID and be registered under a "user friendly" name. This documents the process.</P>
<H4>Generating the CLSID</H4>
<P>Microsoft Visual C++ comes with various tools for generating CLSID's, which are quite suitable. Alternatively, the pythoncom module exports the function CreateGuid() to generate these identifiers.</P>
<CODE><P>&gt;&gt;&gt; import pythoncom<BR>
&gt;&gt;&gt; print pythoncom.CreateGuid()<BR>
