How to find the class id of an arbitrary object? Example:Set x = CreateObject("New:{1C3B4210-F441-11CE-B9EA-00AA006B1A69}")

Please, do not post tangents about whether today's goal is good, bad, fast, slow, brilliant or stupid. I already had a bunch of those tangents here. Strangely enough, that long winded discussion never mentioned createobject("New:{1C3B4210-F441-11CE-B9EA-00
My goal is to make vba code more portable by switching from early binding to late binding. I wanted to do this for ARBITRARY object types while keeping the object's methods and properties unchanged.
For instance let us say I want to switch the following code to late binding.
Dim x as dataobject ' reference to ms forms 2.0 object library which on my machine is c:\windows\syswow64\fm20.d
set x = new dataobject
I accidentally found a webpage that showed the following alternative.
dim x as object
Set x = CreateObject("New:{1C3B421
How can intentionally find similar classids? For instance, can I transform the following
dim x as new SHDocVw.ShellWindows
