Project/Solution GUIDs

[Howard Kaikow]

Being lazy, I sometimes copy a project to another directory, then tweak the
code.

A problem arises because then both projects have identical GUIDs in the .sln
file, and in the assembly file.

Is there any way to change the GUIDs, other than by overcoming my laziness
and creating a New Project instead of copying the files?

There should be a utility available in VS.NET's "Tools" menu that can be
used to generate GUIDs.

I was looking for a means to automatically change the GUIDs in a project.
Doing this manually, I am likely to miss some.
