Some commands are subtyped (i.e. they implement ICommandSubtype). If a class implements both ICommand and ICommandSubtype, then there is more than one command defined in that single class. Each individual command has an identifier known as a subtype. This command class has only one GUID, so in order to get access to each individual command in that class, you need to use the subtypes. That is why IItemDef has both an ID property and a SubType property. You only need to use the SubType property if you are working with a subtyped command.
If the command you want to use is a subtyped command, use the SubType property to specify which subtype of the command you want.
To find the CLSID, ProgID, and subtype of a built-in command in ArcMap or ArcCatalog, refer to the following technical documents:
