query registry on windows 2000

Question

I need to query some registry values on windows 2000. I was able to do it on windows XP by using "reg query" command, but for some reason, I can not find the same command on windows 2000. Does anybody know the equivalent command or something? I kind of have read an article that it needs to be installed from an additional windows 2000 CD-ROM. Does anybody know about this?

Thanks.

Install the Windows Support Tools from \\support\\tools on your Windows 2000 installation CD. This contains reg.exe.

Or, download and install the Windows NT4 resource kit support tools . This version of reg.exe was released for Windows NT4 but will probably run in Windows 2000. (The Windows 2000 version does not appear to be available online.)
