That error is actually shown if it fails to delete the current file. It need to delete it before it can save the new.
Might be that the file has readonly attributes or file permissions that prevent its

If installed
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\MultiButtons.xml

if portable version it is in the Config/MultiButtons.xml
