CLSID Identifier

Looking for freeware ( or a website) that will identify CLSID's with more
detailed information - such as which software they are used by, etc.

I have RegSeeker and RegCleaner, but these do not provide enough info.

The tool which provides the most in-depth information is MS OLEView. (At
least of all the tools I know of.) Get it here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows200...g/oleview-o.asp

It should work on all systems from Win9x to Win2003.

Thanks - that's a terrific tool, but what I'm looking for is a utility that
whould allow me to plug in the CLSID string - i.e. "{ ----- }" and from this
back out the use/source of that CLSID. OLEView doesn't appear to do this.

I tried this app myself and got a dll error "IVIEWERS.dll not found".
Running 98SE with Office 2000 installed. Can't source the dll by Googling.
Found one site suggesting it won't play if M$O is installed. Anyone have the
DLL?

Item # 1332. Install in the same directory as OLEView.

BTW, this was the 4th hit , Googling "Iviewers.dll".

You need to switch to Expert mode (View menu). After that look under the
<Object Classes>-<All Objects> subtree. You'll see not only named objects,
but also the CLSID strings in 'alphabetical' order.

And thinking again about it: Maybe you'll identify *named* CLSID strings,
too. (Although you could read them directly from inside the registry
editor.) In that case you maybe like this website:

http://www.sysinfo.org

adjective?
In any event, thanks for the DLL. Running properly now. :-)
