Generating a Hardware-ID on Windows

What is the best way to generate a unique hardware ID on Microsoft Windows with C++ that is not easily spoofable (with for example changing the MAC Address)?

Solution

Windows stores a unique Guid per machine in the registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\MachineGuid
