CLSID_FileOpenDialog where is it in the registry? Is it comdlg32? ICommDlgBrowser? CIDopen? or somet-CodePudding

I would like to create a custom common item dialog (CID) and then register my custom COM:

But I am confused about the CID COM object. I want to see the existing COM object before I make a custom one.

I found comdlg32 in the registry but I think that is the legacy (pre-Vista) dialog. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{725F645B-EAED-4fc5-B1C5-D9AD0ACCBA5E}\InProcServer32 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID{725F645B-EAED-4fc5-B1C5-D9AD0ACCBA5E}\InProcServer32

I found ICommDlgBrowser but that's an interface, not a COM? HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface{000214F1-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface{000214F1-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

I thought the new one is CIDOpen, but I can't find a CLSID in the registry, rather this is what I find: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1285309903-269343738-3178715341-1001\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CIDOpen

This is the documentation for customization: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/common-file-dialog but my question is about finding the CID COM object in the registry.
