In addition to this, Fred Langa at Windows Magazine, (who has a
wonderful Newsletter) is also providing information on this "unique
document ID number".

I quote:

"A Nasty Win98 Privacy Problem

These two articles say it much better than I could here. If
you're using Windows 98, check out:
http://www.winmag.com/news/1999/0301/0312a.htm and
especially http://www.winmag.com/web/regwiz.htm.

Those pages will explain exactly what's going on, why it's a
problem, and then tell you exactly what to do to fix it.

Click on over now!"

I will hold my tongue lest I get chastised.
