Where do I put the dll when I've compiled a httphandler into a class?

I have a httphandler that I got from msdn, looks this way 

using System.Web;
public class HelloWorldHandler : IHttpHandler
{
    public HelloWorldHandler()
    {
    }
    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        HttpRequest Request = context.Request;
        HttpResponse Response = context.Response;
        // This handler is called whenever a file ending 
        // in .sample is requested. A file with that extension
        // does not need to exist.
        Response.Write("hello"); 


    }
    public bool IsReusable
    {
        // To enable pooling, return true here.
        // This keeps the handler in memory.
        get { return false; }
    }
}

So I compiled it to Handler.dll and put it in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Handler

I then added this Web.config file 

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <httpHandlers>
      <add verb="*" path="*.abc" 
        type="HelloWorldHandler", "HelloWorldHandler" />
    </httpHandlers>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

and put it in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Handler also

enter image description here

I thought with this then I could go to http://localhost/Handler/page.abc and the handler would intercept the request, but this doesn't go this way? I suspect it is maybe the .config file? Please help.

Your configuration is not proper, you need to add the namespace of the class to the type and also declare the handler dll, change the type node;

<configuration>
  <system.web>        
<system.webServer>
    <handlers>
        <add verb="*" path="*.abc" name="HelloWorldHandler"
        type="HelloWorldHandler" />
    </handlers>
</system.webServer>
  </system.web>
</configuration>
