This line needs some looking at:
programs=REG_SZ C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Start
Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools
Are you keen to make it a batch file only utility? There are some tools
around that return all sorts of data - SIW is one that has command line
switches.

http://usetools.net/dvl/cmd/shellget.cmd
shellget.cmd is highly universal, fast and smart script-tool written
on Windows NT operating system built-in command interpreter which is
console shell (text terminal).
this code was tested thousents times on plenty of hardware
configurations range: P2/K6-2 120mb ram - P4/Xeon 4gb ram; various
form factors like pc tower/desktop, laptop, notebook, netbook, eeepc,
etc.
its made for still the most wide-spread in the world os NT 5.1 i.e.
Windows XP SP2-SP3 and can be easily adopted for the later products of
wellknown company.
this script is one piece of integrated installation, configuration and
administration toolset (i can tell more than everything about that in
detail but not this time). but it is independent, doesnt require
anything besides it self and built-in system components, cause i
specially cut it as separate module for doing rather useful thing
which is absent in cmd (maybe it sounds stupid in some extance but
there in cmd is no %localappdata% and %desktop% built-in by default,
isnt it?). it can be used for variaty of possible tasks like
installation, backup, clean-up, fix-up, etc. by the way i implemented
only the first part of features which i planned for getshell.cmd
a lot of practical experiments showed that cmd is excellent solution
for Windows service, installation, administration, system control,
etc. it runs very FAST and SAFE, very lightwait source which is ready
to run and can be modified on the go.
naturally additional tools is the second power of enviroment in case
it is configured properly. thus such multifunctional tools as NirCmd
or Comandiux and others are great for many tasks and we use them very
often in scripts. this concrete procedure of getting shell enviroment
was checked by many versions of tools combinations and finally pure
cmd is winner. but if you can show better alternative we will get the
new knoledge together. anyway.
by the way SIW is my old friend, we collect system hardware info
together via cmd script packed there http://usetools.net/softpacks/fastpack
SIW is too large utility for such task and it is not basic function,
it just can use win api, but cmd should catch faster from registry.
one more serious problem is that SIW can hang (on my practice is took
place several times on some cheap SiS mobo) and far important tasks it
is total failure. sorry, great anecdote! =)

actually SIW was my old friend but i excluded it from package cause of
bugs, the latest was that SIW couldnt start in one directory with
pcidevs.txt and other similar hwid database files. they make it mad,
thats enadequate. (and it has limited export features, shows less
useful software tab by default that couldnt be changed, it even doesnt
allow to copy-paste info about some unknown devices and boards without
problems, offers payd version) but SIV has the real power of logging
various information about system and it uses pcidevs.txt database like
other full-featured gui and console tools.

This is a little more robust. It uses GNUsed

thank you, its very interesting code. i tested it and got such screen
output: http://i.imgur.com/yL1Ao.png
so i think that these are all currently existing enviroment variables
and their values i.e. system and users enviroment output.
i think its extremely useful cause i usually use special separate cmd
tool for this task.
did i miss smth?
and its rather sad but i havent any experience with sed.
would you mind to explain a little bit this magic for cycle with
sed?.. (if it is not very difficult for you)

Yes, it's the current environment. See above for a method to only list
the variables that are set by the code.

sed in the case above uses the "s/find/replace/" syntax and it replaces
TABREG_SZTAB with a pipe character | where tab is ascii character HEX 09
and is represented by \x09 in gnused.
The for in do then skips the top three lines of the registry code and
splits the rest of the lines into the "category name" and "the path"
(using the pipe character) into %%a and %%b

thank you again, i will update the script with adding of your code as
