Hector,

You can just use a new Guid, and then use the string representation for
that. That ID is guaranteed to be unique for something like the next 5000
years if you had generated 1000 per second during that time. It's going to
be ^pretty^ unique.

Hope this helps.

If they are temp files, You can use System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName().
