You can't send keyboard strokes with ShellExecute().  Nor can you pass
parameters to REGEDIT.EXE because you're only specifying a filename and not
the actual application as well, thus the lpParameters value is ignored
completely.  You could, however, use keybd() for sending the keystrokes.

However, either way, you should instead be calling REGEDIT.EXE directly,
passing it the .reg filename as a parameter as well as the /S flag.  That
will prevent the message boxes from being displayed in the first place.   In
which case, I would suggest you use CreateProcess() instead of
ShellExecuteEx() for that.
