Is there a list of alert codes for vbscript, like this line:

MsgBox "The registry entry does not exist." ,32,"Error!"

MsgBox "The registry entry has been removed.", 16,"Done!"

Like the 32 gives a ?.
The 16 gives a A red X.

Is there a list?

See "MsgBox constants" in the VBScript Docs (script56.chm):

I didn't find any "Windows Script 5.7 Documentation", but that could be
my bad luck/fault.

read this part below, in short you need to add numbers together to get the
result you want


The first group of values (0-5) describes the number and type of buttons
displayed in the dialog box; the second group (16, 32, 48, 64) describes the
icon style; the third group (0, 256, 512, 768) determines which button is
the default; and the fourth group (0, 4096) determines the modality of the
message box. When adding numbers to create a final value for the argument
buttons, use only one number from each group.

The numeric values and are fine, but for readability I use the built-in
button constants.

vbOKOnly
vbOKCancel
vbAbortRetryIgnore
vbYesNoCancel
vbYesNo
vbRetryCancel
vbCritical
vbQuestion
vbExclamation
vbInformation
vbDefaultButton1
vbDefaultButton2
vbDefaultButton3
vbDefaultButton4

For example:

Call MsgBox("The registry entry does not exist", vbOKOnly + vbCritical,
"Error")

These must be in the help file.
