<p><b>New page</b></p><div>GUID is a globally unique identifier. It seems to be used interchangeably with UUID which stands for universally unique identifier. The GUID is a 128-bit quantity that identifies things in the [[Microsoft]] universe. A GUID, while treated as an atomic 128-bit unit, has the following partitions:<br />
<br />
32 bits<br />
16 bits<br />
8 bits<br />

8 bytes<br />
