Generate Unique ID

This uses CreateGUID to get a unique number, and then hashes it, retaining 24 characters (96 bits) of the hash. This generates a nice, unique identifier, like this: "0a96ce42d8e0ede554d3b9ab".

You could also use it for making up words to be send by a keypad or macro which can then be caught by an alias. This lets you extend the functionality of keypads and macros to do things like expanding variables.

You could also use it as a handy "password generator", as the number sequences are hardly going to be predicable.
