Decoding an ID?

I am not sure if there is anything behind it, but is there a way to decode
what keys like this mean?

{0BEDBD4E-2D34-47B5-9973-57E62B29307C}

That is for my ATI driver in Add/Remove Programs. I know what it is because
I can look at the keys in that section, but does that line actually
translate to something human readable?

Thanks,
Ketta

No, it's a Globally Uniques IDentifier (GUID, 128 bit number with
specific structure generated in a complex way) and unless another object
links to (uses) it you cannot tell by itself anything - it's just a
number
