Maybe you know that PowerShell has two kinds of errors: terminating and non-terminating. The question is how to generate these in a script. Write-Error generates a non-terminating error, but throw generates a terminating error. Of course, one can specify the -erroraction to override.
More on errors:
There are often several non-terminating errors if one runs get-childitem c:\windows, because wherever one does not have access, an error appears, but the "getting" continues. The terminating error brings execution to a halt, so get-childitem c:\windows -erroraction stop would end all further code execution at the first "access denied" (unless Trap or Try/Catch is used).
