Arkadiusz, I edited them with mcedit and after that everything was peachy :-)
Refer to FAQ however, that such editing is not guaranteed to work and you (and
I) do this on your own risk.

When building automatic snapshot/editor (for batch jobs) it is then too risky
to depend on something not guaranteed by design, and only that "till now it
works".

And any tool that edit it (except for regedit) is asking for trouble -- I
cannot for example use sed to reset some counters in registry (automatically)
because it is editing in raw text mode. And this is what this wish-report is
about.
