ErrorLevel
ErrorLevel is set to 1 if there was a problem or 0 otherwise.
Remarks
Deleting from the registry is potential dangerous - please exercise caution!
To retrieve and operate upon multiple registry keys or values, consider using a registry-loop.
For details about how to access the registry of a remote computer, see the remarks in registry-loop.
