25 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
26- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
27 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.

30 only if ovveriden
31- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
