.SYNOPSIS
Resolves many Windows GUIDs to human friendly values.

.DESCRIPTION
Resolve-WindowsGUID.ps1 takes a GUID from a Windows system and attempts
to return a human friendly value from either a static list or from a 
dynamically generated list of LogProvider GUIDs. There are undoubtedly 
other GUIDs in use throughout Windows that will not fall into either of 
these sets. If you encounter a GUID that you can't resolve via this

UI Access (UIA)

What's UI Access?

UIA is the way around UIPI ([User Interface Privilege Isolation][1]) which in simple terms is a way of bypassing the security built into Windows to avoid applications interacting with other applications that have a higher integrity level (security).

In other words, when you run a script it cannot communicate with the system or elevated (running as Administrator) processes; this is to avoid insecure and non-sanctioned interactions.

Why would I want UIA?

Problem

Chrome has the feature to automatically add search engine when it detects an input field on websites. After using Chrome months, it often resutls a bunch of search engines stayed in the settings. And the setting page does not provide a convinient way to remove them.

Updates on 2024-11-21

The editting the Web Data as SQLite file did not seem to work anymore. Chrome seems to revert all the changes when restart.

To make it even worse, it seems that the DOM tree is not accessable from the development console on the setting page, so even a bookmarklet could not work. Neighter does Chrome provide an API to access the search engines.
