GUID = Globally Unique IDentifier

Basically a magic 128-bit number which you can use for anything that you need a unique (across multiple systems and time) number for.

In DirectX9 it's probably used to identify components, objects, filters or whatever Microsoft has decided to call them. GUIDs are used in COM to uniquely identify interfaces and objects.

Hmm, didn't notice that before.  Yes, yes, the phrase should be above the HR and not below it.  Silly spacing.

So, why?  ;D
