Hi all,

I have a question about determining which application a CLSID
corresponds to. Is there any easy way or a handy tool that would allow
a system administrator to determine this?

Thanks in advance,

For COM components:

If you have MS Visual Studio, or downloaded (free) Platform SDK - there's
utility called OleView.
Otherwise, you might want to use RegEdit to search for that GUID and inspect
the pathname of associated application.

You could search the registry on that string and find the inproc server
(app) used for it.

Google is not anyone's "friend"! It is a TOOL!
They'll take your money and try to fleece you as fast as the next guy
if you let them.

I've never paid them anything, in fact, I've got money from them...
