Changing Registry with .REG file

[see.cher]

I am trying to change the registry with a REG file.
Only parts of it change - other parts won't change

this is the reg file
============================================================================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Symantec\ACT!\Layout]
"CurrentContactLayout"="d:\\My Documents\\ACT!
6\\Layout\\Combined.cly"
"PreviousContactLayout"="d:\\My Documents\\ACT!
6\\Layout\\Combined.cly"
"PreviousGroupLayout"="d:\\My Documents\\ACT! 6\\Layout\\Combined.gly"
"ToolPaletteVisible"=dword:00000001
"ContactDesignView"=hex:11,00,00,00,a2,00,00,00
"CurrentGroupLayout"="d:\\My Documents\\ACT! 6\\Layout\\Combined.gly"
"GroupDesignView"=hex:df,00,00,00,e1,00,00,00


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Symantec\ACT!]
"Synchronize File Type"="D:\\APPLICATIONS\\ACT! 6\\Sync"\\Comb"
============================================================================

the LAST part won't change. I can change it manually or cause the
program to change it, but running the reg file won't change it.

I am trying to change the "Comb" NAME only to "Amer" and back. That
represents a folder.
In the top part I am changing the filenames and it works fine.

What have I missed ????????????

thanks

Check your double quotes in the last line!

THANKS-- I could have looked at that for another millenium and not
seen the obvious.
