The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key only allows writing if the user logged in to Windows is an administrator, and in the case of UAC if the program that is trying to modify the value has been executed with elevated permissions.

In general you should not make any changes within HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, any program settings for example should be saved in HKEY_CURRENT_USER
