Mixture: Windows' CoCreateGuid API, which all of these use, always uses a 4 in the 3 number group. This denotes the version of the GUID generation algorithm. Everything that uses the current Windows API for it will purposely receive a GUID with a 4 there by design. There are 5,316,911,983,139,663,491,615,228,241,121,400,000 possible combinations under the current design, so there is no worry about this being a 4.

I have noticed a problem with both GUIDGenerator and UUID Generator. The first character of the third group is always 4 in GUIDGenerator 1.01 and the first character in the third group is always 4 in UUID Generator 0.1.5.150. This definitely reduces the bit strength of the UUID generated by both apps. Therefore, I programmed a LibreOffice Calc template to correctly generate full strength UUIDs.

I know... really old topic. However, if you want new GUIDs then, using AutoHotkey, you can create a new GUID in just 2 lines (with a 3rd line to display it):

TypeLib := ComObjCreate("Scriptlet.TypeLib")
NewGUID := TypeLib.Guid
MsgBox %NewGUID%

Hope this helps...

I have been using GUIDGenerator 1.01 for several years. This portable app is smaller than UUID Generator 0.1.1.110
