To add to what Dave has - rightly - said ...
The problem is due to a layer of security added after the registry became too bloated and vulnerable: it was filled with rubbish, and fully available to code to view or modify.

In more modern OSes (think Vista and later) it became much harder to access the registry, and Admin access was required for most of the content. This included the entire LocalMachine branch. Do not expect it to get easier to access, if anything it will get harder as storing app settings there is now discouraged to reduce the bloat.

So unless you have a very, very good reason to use the registry you shouldn't do it: use an app config file, or store data in a User data folder instead. It's easier to do, and a lot more future proof!
This may help: SWhere should I store my data?[^]
