obviously, this is user setting.
if you don't kill explorer or something, the change happens on next logon.
as you can understand, windows does not read the reg in vain (which would produce overheat) but only checks it during startup and writes only when setting.
otherwise, it's in memory and if you can't tell windows to reload the setting, it will insist using the memory value.
