Hi Sigurd,
I need a little more help to understand your question.

Which part don't you understand?
- what is a local profile?
- where is it stored? (ie how do I use it on Windows ICM)
- what is the ID?

An MD5 is a kindof-checksum of an input string (in this case
the profile name). Google MD5 for more info.

Have you looked at http://www.color.org/. That might help
with the general questions. I don't know anything about
the Windows ICM API.
Sorry!
