>Interesting approach. So you use the MAC address to create a unique filename.

In principle, yes, this is the way it works. But please note that the GUID function (part of the Windows API) does this internally - you just call the function.

I didn't do this, BTW, I just mentioned it as a possibility. GUID are supposed to be the safest way to ensure absolute uniqueness.
