This is my code:
RegistryKey objRegistryKey = Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System");
objRegistryKey.SetValue("DisableTaskMgr", keyValue);
objRegistryKey.Close();
this code run in windows xp but dont run in windows 8....
Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system? If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
I know that the problem is the access level ....
What level do I have access to my code.

You need to run your program at Administrator level.

You'll want to modify the manifest that gets embedded in the program. This works on VS2008 and higher: Project + Add New Item, select "Application Manifest File". Change the <requestedexecutionlevel> element to:

<requestedexecutionlevel level="requireAdministrator" uiaccess="false" />

The user gets the UAC prompt when they start the program. Use wisely, their patience can wear out quickly.
