The .GetType0 part isn't supposed to be there. That gets the type of the assembly, not the assembly itself. And that type is System.Reflection.RuntimeAssembly, part of .NET itself. 0 2 17 29 ( 1.005 1 foone Foone 15 Std. So what happens is that both of them are creating a global mutex to ensure only one copy runs, but instead of basing the GUID on their own code, they're both using the GUID of a part of NET itself.
