+.SYNOPSIS
+    Lists installed software and their GUIDs/Registry Keys.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    This script scans the Windows Registry (HKLM and WOW6432Node) for installed applications
+    and outputs their Display Name and Registry Key Name (which is often the MSI GUID).
+    
+    Useful for finding the GUID of software to target for uninstallation.
+
+.PARAMETER Filter
+    Optional string to filter the results by Display Name.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    .\GetGUIDApp.ps1
+    Lists all installed software in a grid view.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    .\GetGUIDApp.ps1 -Filter "Printer"
+    Lists only software with "Printer" in the name.
+#>
+
+param (
+    [string]$Filter = ""
+)
