Probably because you forgot to change the GUID in both the sample
application and in the registry. The two have to match. The one
in the registry says, "Use this program to handle this GUID", and
the one in the program says, "Hey program, your job is to handle
this GUID".
Never, ever recycle somebody else's guid. The "U" in GUID stands
for "unique".
