Greg,
This is expected behavior. Registry settings do not normally take effect
until they are re-loaded by the service using them. Luckily, Allaire wrote
a function that will rescan and reload registry settings without needing to
restart the services. It sounds like the param you are trying to manipulate
works without restarting the services if you hit Apply, so try calling the
following function after you make the change and see if this works:

CFUSION_SETTINGS_REFRESH()
Refreshes some ColdFusion settings not requiring a restart
