Although this sample agrees with the description in the article, both 
differ from the Microsoft Platform SDK documentation, not to mention 
entries in my registry. According to those sources the CLSID should be a 
subkey (not the default value) of the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Program ID\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\
where "Program ID" would be "ActiveX_FileMenu" in your example.

You can see the docs at one of the following urls, or look at working 
examples in your own registry by searching for the word 
"ContextMenuHandlers".
