When you open the Security Configuration dialog, you will find a numbered list of all existing security rules.  
Please approve/ enable write options for the rule of the C:/ object.  
See if the register line type for the C:/ object has an action of Deny.  
If so, approve this action for C:/ object.  
There could be objects from C:/ with an action of "Deny", and upon changing that to allow, it should allow you to record.
