New explorer bars in IE -GUID

[mnovak5]

Hi!
On http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/ext/overview/overview.asp
you can find out how to create your own buttons, menu items, etc. in MSIE. But I always end up on the term GUID. Yes, I can find a definition there but... That was the case with the great post about the IE button by reghakr! Everything was obvious but the number of the subkey of Extensions key was the problem!
The site I quote is for developers not for common users. Can anyone "translate" the tutorials for common people? How can I create my own explorer bar? Where can I get the ... GUID number and how can I make it? The rest is easy (I hope, at least).
Thanks, Michael

"...The site I quote is for developers not for common users..."
J fear this is a point, where extending the browser functionality gets more technical. Not everything can done only by adding a few more specifications (e.g. in the registry), other things require actual software development.

"...But I always end up on the term GUID..."
word GUID, which stands for Globally Unique IDentifyer.
Depending on the context, some MS development teams have created synonyms (such as CLSID). The GUID is used whenever one has to (worldwide) uniquely identify some kind of object.

The definition is repeated several times within Microsofts documentation, one is at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnindhtm/html/whatsclsid.asp (http://www.winguides.com/external.php?url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnindhtm/html/whatsclsid.asp)

"...number and how can I make it..."
when you have a development environment, one or more of the utilities are provided to generate one or more GUIDs. Or if you know a developer, let him/her generate a few GUIDs for you.

Well, I don't and I don't. Could you? (For the MSIE extension purposes.)
Thanks,
