[Q]Registery - what permissions do I need

Dear Readers,

I am writing an application that will be installed on Windows XP
Professional in a non-administrative account.

Can this program create keys in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE
registery section?

What permissions does the account which will run this application need
so I can create these registery keys?

Thanks

Stuart
