Can anybody help me out here?

I want to make a Property Sheet Handler for the Windows shell.

Why is it that GUID's generated with GUIDGEN.EXE, like
{18b06a20-7B3a-11d2-b1c3-bd6b4f98a304}, don't work? The property sheet
simply doesn't appear.

But when i take a GUID from an existing (Microsoft Journal) example like
{8e3e0f0a-0fcc-11ce-bcb0-b3fd0e25381a}, all goes well!
What is the difference? Are there certain classes of GUID's for certain
applications? Do i need a special version of GUIDGEN.EXE or UUIDGEN.EXE? I
use the Borland version shipped with Borland C++ 5.02.

Any help would be appreciated.
