Registry Edit from the workspace is messy

Since registry edit is a job to be done carefully I prefer using the epmsys_registry utility in my black&white command prompt rather than the fancy UI.
This morning I decided let's edit from the front end as it was only about updating one single property for each component.
All the updates looked fine at first glance until I found that using notepad and updating the property may lead to incorrect values either added or removed from the existing registry.


Here is one example, I exported the components.property for LWA Workspace and updated just the isSSL=false property and imported it back without making any other changes.
Booooom!
I not only see a new entry but I also see that the value for ExtraTokenKey is incorrect now.




After Edit:




This is because of the settings on the notepad editor. I have tried all the ways possible to upload back with correct values but it does not change.


Hence sticking to the command prompt is the best thing:
Here are the sample commands:


epmsys_registry updateproperty #591e3add208ffef174b3659b1578e982994S7cbe/@isSSL false
