Exif question; what is the 'about' number?

This is in the exif details of my photos but I have no clue what it is. Its a really long number though!

Anyone able to explain a little about what it means please?

Re: Exif question; what is the 'about' number?

Would it be possible to post a screen grab of the exif. I have tried to view the exif in some of your images but the data has been stripped out.

Re: Exif question; what is the 'about' number?

its the Universally unique identifier for Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery software
the number only appears on the exif files where youve used window live gallery to process your picture

ok, thanks. I couldnt get my screenshot up for some reason...anyhoo, I wonder why this isnt on all my photos? Cos I dont think that image was even cropped or anything...then again, memory could be failing me!

Thanks for explaining though

Was it in Flickr or in threads on this site Cakey. I tried two different programs on images here without joy. Never thought of looking on Flickr
