Parse a registry query

Hi guys. I am trying to retrieve a key value from the registry and then parse it so that all I get is the value it self. I haven't been able to get it working.
This is what I have so far:
FOR /F "tokens=3" %%i in ('reg query "HKCU\Volatile Environment" /v USERDNSDOMAIN') DO (echo %i)

If the For /F is embedded in a batch script you need to code (echo %%i) not %i, on the contrary if the statement is entered at prompt the first %%i must be replaced by %i innstead.
That does not take into account the parse process itself.
