Like its name suggests, it retreives the "current" profile.  Multiple
profiles may exist on a machine, and can be swapped dynamically as hardware
changes (docking/undocking devices, inserting/removing hot-swappable
devices, etc).  Also, if the user reinstalls the OS, or add/removes
profiles, the GUIDs may change as well.  Also, the function is only
available on NT-based systems (NT4/2K/XP/2K3), not on 9x/Me.
