simplest way to associate a GUID with an assembly in 2K5?

In VS.Net 2K3, a GUID use to be automatically included in the project's
assemblyinfo.vb file:

'The following GUID is for the ID of the typelib if this project is exposed
to COM
<Assembly: Guid("9CD13E54-9AD0-4AF5-9005-BC45A3DCAA36")>

What's the easiest way to do it now? It's not for signing or COM, I just
want a unique identifier that's a little more reliable than the physical
filename.

If you go to the project properties and click on the Application tab,
you should see a button labeled Assembly Information. If you click
that, you should see a checkbox labeled "Make assembly COM visible".
Does that add a Guid to it? I have several VB .dll projects that have
guids for which I did not explicitly add them, so it seems like they
are being added automatically to me.

Bingo! I can specify it right there in the dialog, too. :)

Thanks,
