Thats not an good idea. Leave it like it is created by mkgmap.
But you have to make 2 new entrys in the registry. One for MDX file, one for the MDR file.
Here an example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\WkR_MKGMAP]
"TYP"="E:\\Gps_Daten\\Karten\\Fertige_Karten\\Eigene_Karten\\wkr_mkgmap\\WKR9421.TYP"
"ID"=hex:cd,24
"IDX"="E:\\Gps_Daten\\Karten\\Fertige_Karten\\Eigene_Karten\\wkr_mkgmap\\WKR.mdx"
"MDR"="E:\\Gps_Daten\\Karten\\Fertige_Karten\\Eigene_Karten\\wkr_mkgmap\\WKR_mdr.img"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\WkR_MKGMAP\1]
"TDB"="E:\\Gps_Daten\\Karten\\Fertige_Karten\\Eigene_Karten\\wkr_mkgmap\\WKR.tdb"
"LOC"="E:\\Gps_Daten\\Karten\\Fertige_Karten\\Eigene_Karten\\wkr_mkgmap"
"BMAP"="E:\\Gps_Daten\\Karten\\Fertige_Karten\\Eigene_Karten\\wkr_mkgmap\\WKR.img"
