help with reg add in batch file

I need to be able to easily push it out to all the workstations. I can put
it in the startup folder, but I would need to go around to each pc and that
is time consuming.

I know this is way past original post, and I'm not sure about all lower
case but I tend to do that...anyway, quotes are often necessary. For
instance, in my example to set a explorer home page..

reg add "hkcu\software\microsoft\internet explorer\main" /v "start
