I don't think that it does work with command prompt. When you edit the registry your editing the windows registry, so why would you do it from a command prompt?
Kix is a good solution. I don't know about a kix web site,
but I know that in the NT4 resource kit there is the KIX program,
which has many options for login scripts and supports Win9x clients.
You also have other options:
You can download my free utility collection from here
and there you'll find to programs that can help you:
1) RegToADM converts a REG file to ADM that can be used with Poledit,
to distribute registry settings to clients.
It works with most STRING values, but not so good with BINARY.
If you know how to use system policies then this might help you.
2) NetRUN - This program runs from the login script and can help you run a file (executable, batch, REG or other) only once on each workstation.
This is a batch file utility that is very powerful in writing logon scripts. It doesnt come with any sort of interface, but read the downloadable manuals, i think you will find this program helpful.
Those are examples of possible options with editing the registry. Most people only use regedit, and that is an exe, not a batch. Use these switches to accomplish much more powerful commands in batch than regedit.exe can. Doing a reg restore /? gives you dead-on access to specific keys you want, etc.
..very powerful & useful stuff..
Hope this is helps..

Where:
Subkey is the registry key (HKEY_Locacal_Machine) etc
Entry is the name of the entry in the registry key, default should use "" as a blank delimtation.
Expression is the data to be entered.
Datatype is REG_DWORD_SZ or similar
Example:
$RC=writevalue ("Hkey_classes_root\clsid\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A1D8-08002B30309D","","Not My Computer","reg_sz"
This would change the label of the my computer icon for all users, at registry level, do not confuse this with the user renaming the icon, different thing
