I have noticed that while bring up the console and just click anything with your mouse it reveals the ID of something. For example click on the object(e.g. your Hide Boot) and it will reveals its ID. (while the console is active). Just a thought if anyone NOT know about it.

It shows the current in game reference ID, but doesn't show the base ID.

For instance, if you want to make Lydia Essential, bringing up the console and clicking on her will give her Reference ID, (000a2c94) but not her Base ID, (000a2c8e)
which is what you need to set her essential

Ah, I see. I guess i thought it would be pointing to Base ID. Thanks!

If it pointed to the base ID doing /disable would remove it everywhere in the game world if im not mistaken and that wouldn't be very good.

In Oblivion if you do that then type GetBaseObject you would get the base ID.

Not sure about Skyrim.

Thanks for this!

I wish I had known about this command a few years ago.
