Would anyone explain exactly what is this weird numbers on classid property?

<OBJECT id="clock1"
classid="clsid:663C8FEF-1EF9-11CF-A3DB-080036F12502"
data="data:application/x-oleobject;base64, ...base64 data...">
A clock.
</OBJECT>

Thanx.

Read this.

If you need more info, just say so

In short, it's a class id which points to a Microsoft ActiveX object.

Different IDs point to different functions or programs.

For example, you can embed an mpeg file into a webpage with windows media player by using the classid for windows media player.

Actually I read that.

So what is this number all about? Where do you get it from?
