Access Denied error in msconfig

I tried modifying what boots up through msconfig, but when I clicked on
apply, I received an error stating Access Denied and I'd have to log in as an
administrator. However, I was logged in as an administrator. I'm stumped.

Msconfig.exe attempts to modify this registry location (among others):
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.
Run regedit.exe and examine the permissions to the key you're
trying to change. They may be incorrectly set.
