CLSIDs & GUIDs such as "{C5AEC3EC-E812-4677-A9A7-4FEE1F9AA000}"  are unique identifiers that are more or less a pointer to reference something.

The problem is the registry is full of them and AFAIK it's impossible to make heads or tails out of them. For a computer this is no problem. The best I got is a rudimentary Powershell method & `oleview.exe`. OLEView doesn't have a search function, so I have to go to powershell  to get the name then search through a huge list until I find what I want.
The alternative is searching for the GUID/CLSID in RegFinder. But there's so many hits its difficult & the main entry just  contains tons more GUIDs I have to track down.

A popup on hover of a GUID that just displays the basics like my powershell method does would be sooooo nice. 
From there an option to go to the entry the GUID is referencing & an ability to see all references so you don't have to manually go over past and search would be great.
