RegWrite @ error

[iceberg]

Hi,

Can someone kindly enlighten me as to why the error message doesn't appear if users don't have access rights to the registry? thanks.

AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1)
Opt("RunErrorsFatal", 1);1=fatal, 0=silent set @error
RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer", "NoRun", "REG_DWORD", "1")
If @error Then
    MsgBox(16, "Failure", "Error writing registry key or value. Please contact IT Dept for access rights.")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Success", "Please restart computer for changes to take effect.")
EndIf
Exit

RunFataleror is for Run or runWait function execution, not for regwrite

Why don't you work with "return value"?
