Does it make any difference? Yes, because those strings are different. :-)
Will it make any difference if you change the quotation characters? It totally depends on the application of this registry value, which you did not bother to share with us. The registry is nothing but a kind of media where you store some values by keys organized in a tree structure.

You can preserve existing value using Regedit menu item File -> Export. Then experiment and, if you want to restore the registry, just click on the exported file. :-)
