Most CLSIDs are defined in the registry at HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID
A few may also be found in HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID provides a view that merges the information from those two sources.
Most of the CLSIDs in the table above can be opened using START shell:CLSID.
e.g. Open 'My Documents' with:
START shell:::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}
Should you find a desktop or home drive folder with no visible name:
CertUtil class - Display COM registry information.
Shell: folder - Shortcuts to key folders.
