At the risk of showing bad form and resurrecting an old thread, I've modified this code slightly for my own use.
I've adapted this for my Altiris DS console so that I can right click on the computer in the DS console and access the registry directly.
If you don't want the options embedded, it'd be relatively simple to read an ini file with iniread($inifile, "Settings", "OnePCPerWindow, "Y")
Please don't laugh too hard at my hideous coding :)

; Script Function:
; Connects to a remote registry using regedit

; Choices here - if you don't want multiple PCs open in the one
; regedit window, we can present some choices
; OnePCPerWindow - Close Regedit first before opening the specified PC
; Prompt - Ask the user if they want to close regedit first
; Note that setting OnePCPerWindow to "N" over-rides $Prompt
$OnePCPerWindow = "N"
$Prompt = "Y"
