It depends on the registry key and if the program has registry virtualization turned on.
What program to you want to prevent from creating the keys? and what keys do you not want created?

Most likely if an application is expecting to be able to create a key and it can't, it's gonna crash or just not work right.

If you install Spybot, it's going to ask you for permission every time a registry key is to be created. Then you can accept/deny depending on the situation. But be aware of what the Geek said, you may create an awful mess. Some programs keep asking and asking over and over again. Others are more peaceful.

Its a trial 5 run times exe that creates 4 or 5 registry keys in hkey_local_machine > software > licenses with armadillo protection, every time i run that exe it re-creates those registry keys even if i deleted them before, thats why i want to block the creation of this keys

It's a counter strike sxe injected hack, a private edition with only 5 times of use to test it. I'm doing this because i dont think it's legal to pay for this things

Ok, I see. From a quick check of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strike, I have found that a WallHack is a cheat to see though walls in the game.
It says that Value will ban your account if they detect a cheat being used.
It sounds to me like it's not something you want to risk happening and I would recommend avoiding the cheat in that case.

No, believe me there's no way you can get banned for that, just because it's not an advanced anticheat and the only way that youll get banned is if you shoot trough walls. Anyways, i re started my search for the solution and i found that armadillo unpacker, unlocker.. can i solve this with that?

Ok. I don't know then I haven't used any cheat hacks or played Counterstrike.
Maybe someone else here will know.
