You can run regedit in silent mode--to suppress all the messages
I found this in a google search
http://www.ntcompatible.com/thread26615-1.htm

This switch opens REGEDIT.EXE in advanced mode, where th

Any part of the database can be edited

When a filename is specified on the command line, this switch i
used t
suppress an
informational dialog boxes that would normally be displayed. Thi

when the Setu

Hello folks
I've developed a program that starts with "Application.Visible
False" then proceeds to execute the regedit application via the shell metho

reboots the PC. Problem is the reboot overrides a necessary prompt/respons

from the regedit application before rebooting the PC. Is there a way I ca
force the reboot to wait for these prompts and responses
Thanks
