Re: verclsid.exe said by notmentat:said by hpguru:It is a legit file. It is used to verify class IDs. What is a class ID? Attribute definitions:
id = name [CS]
This attribute assigns a name to an element. This name must be unique in a document.
class = cdata-list [CS]
This attribute assigns a class name or set of class names to an element. Any number of elements may be assigned the same class name or names. Multiple class names must be separated by white space characters.
The id attribute assigns a unique identifier to an element (which may be verified by an SGML parser). For example, the following paragraphs are distinguished by their id values: This is a uniquely named paragraph.
This is also a uniquely named paragraph.
The id attribute has several roles in HTML:
As a style sheet selector.
As a target anchor for hypertext links.
As a means to reference a particular element from a script.
As the name of a declared OBJECT element.
For general purpose processing by user agents (e.g. for identifying fields when extracting data from HTML pages into a database, translating HTML documents into other formats, etc.).

| I don't think this class id, which is merely a HTML attribute, is the same thing as what verclsid.exe does. |

| Can you help me solve my issue? I have been using Photo Story for Windows, and suddenly it kept freezing and I couldn't import my pictures. I took a look at the task manager and saw verclsid.exe. I knew I had not seen it there before so I ended it. Voila! Photo Story was allowed to browse for pictures again. |
