Is it safe to post registry entries that contain your GUID in internet
newsgroups?
Can someone use your GUID for malicious purposes?

Nah, not really, unless they can get into your machine to use it, in
which case if they got that far, they can look it up themselves. Got a
password on your account? Got a firewall? You should be golden. It's
not personal information, just a machine identifier.
 
Do you hold the security details for Fort Knox?
