what exactly are your trying to do?

[meadX]

I want to write to the registry and use this line of code to write to the registry when there is an error in the script 

system('start /min reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\abcdefg" /f')

The line of code I sent can be written to the registry, but a flashing console window appears, and I want to be able to hide this window from running

var ret  = run_cmd('reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\abcdefg" /f', false, false);

alert(ret);
