I want to add my program to autorun. I know there is a registry key for it that doesnt require admin rigths to edit it.

It's 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

I'm using unicode bild. I wrote a function that is for adding program to autorn. 

void AddToRegAutorun(const std::wstring& _valueName, const std::wstring& _path)    
{        
HKEY hkey;    
if (RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, TEXT("Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run"), 0, /*KEY_SET_VALUE*//*MAXIMUM_ALLOWED*/KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &hkey) == ERROR_SUCCESS)    
RegSetValueEx(hkey, _valueName.c_str(), 0, REG_SZ, (LPBYTE)_path.c_str(), ((DWORD)wcslen(_path.c_str()) + 1)* sizeof(wchar_t));    
RegCloseKey(hkey);    
}

RegOpenKeyEx() returns ERROR_SUCCESS. But RegSetValueEx() returns 5

(ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED).

Any suggestions?
