Is it possible to optain information from the registry in Windows 98 from the command line?
What I am trying to do is figure out who the users is when he logs in, and then execute a script in a batch file during the user's login in. I am using NT Servers. If this were NT Workstation, I would have an easy solution, but I can not figure out who the users is on a Windows 98 Hosts from my login script.

regedit can export the whole registry to a text file from the command prompt- takes over 5 mins. If you can export a key it would be faster

For Windows 95/98:
Net Config /yes
For Windows NT:
Net Config Workstation
in your logon script.
