Here’s a snippet of code whose job is to generate a unique number within the process. Here’s some reference reading to get yourself in the mood. Caution: It may or may not be useful.
dwUniqueId = InterlockedCompareExchange(&g_dwUniqueId,
g_dwUniqueId+1,
g_dwUniqueId);

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
