Most of the scripted changes of this nature that I make are written in
VBScript...I had forgotten about reg.exe. That being said, the real
point I was trying to make was to use the for loop. The OP mentioned
needing a solution that scaled well in the absense of a GPO. Even with
reg.exe, you can only hit one computer at a time and it could still take
a while....

IBTD. Please open a Command Prompt and type "reg /?". Install the
Support Tools first, if you're using Windows 2000.

Can be done with reg.exe as well.

I wasn't talking about regedit/regedt32.
