***With current ICC proposals, the profile's unique ID is an MD5-encoded
value within the profile header**
I have looked at the profile header description and I can't see any 128 bit
MD5 value stored in there...
I assume it's stored locally on the hard drive, I can enum all the profiles
installed with Windows ICM api, it returns a list of file names. I guess my
main question for now is how do I get the string to put in local(..) from
that.

What's the profile name? Is it the file name?
thanks,
