How to Use Regcreatekeyex?

I have a question about using RegCreateKeyEx in C++. When I'm trying to create a key under HKLM - it does not work, but other situation(creating the key at the HKCU) - it does work well (can create key).

My OS is win7 x86 - does it matter when using RegCreateKeyEx?

The code I'm running is the following:

#include<Windows.h>
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    HKEY hKey;
    LONG result = 0;
    char filename[] = "C:\test.jpg";
    char *path = "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run\\test";

    if (RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, path, 0, NULL, REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE, KEY_WRITE, NULL, &hKey, NULL) == ERROR_SUCCESS)
        printf("1. success \n"); // ← doesn`t work 
    else printf("fail\n");

    if (RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Console\papadaks", 0, NULL,       
            REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE, KEY_WRITE, NULL, &hKey, NULL) == ERROR_SUCCESS)
        printf("2. success \n");  // ← works well 
    else printf("fail\n");

    return 0;
}

Thanks.
