regedit not starting under vista

[hamohd70]

I'm trying to start regedit under vista but it is refusing to start.

The code i'm using is simple :

RunWait("regedit")

the same code is running fine under win XP.

any help please ?

Thanks

use: ShellExecute("regedit.exe")

XP may allow you to run regedit without admin privileges but Vista and later OSes may not. You may need to raise your privileges to admin to run regedit which is probably a good thing for the sake of security.

Use #RequireAdmin or look at RunAs() or RunAsWait() in the helpfile.

#RequireAdmin
RunWait("regedit")

Now you may see the UAC prompt which can allow your script to run with admin privileges in which running regedit will inherit admin privileges as well.
