Thanks for everyones time

Go to the link below and download the scripting guide. In it there is a script that will do what you want along with a lot of other useful scripts.

If you want to check the HKLM of a remote PC, open the registry on your own PC, go to File > Connect to Remote Registry (I forget what the exact listing is) and put in the IP of the remote PC.

Just to add to the last post, you can also type in the computer name instead of the IP if you're on a domain.

you can also install Powershell on these machines, it will allow you to view the registry from a CLI.
