#2 mentions changing the security permissions on the particular regkey mentioned. If that's what you want to do remotely or through scripts you can set reg perms on remote computers in a variety of ways. But your post sounds like you want to change a remote machine's reg value, not reg permissions. Which is it?

Anyone know what's up with that? My original goal was to find a way to show the person's IP address on their desktop, however it has to survive changing of wallpaper, so the sysinternals or whoami programs aren't sufficient. I was thinking of trying to load the IP into an environment variable, then adapt the above tweak for my network places, but I'm not having much luck. Does anyone have a better plan?
