Referencing Windows Registry in Login Scripts?

Does anyone know if it can be done? I thought of it as a way to keep certain information on our office laptops up-to-date. I don't necessarily want this info to get on the desktops, so that presents a problem. Of course, you can't specify login scripts by machine (pity)... The only thing that differentiates a laptop from a desktop on our NT network is the naming convention we use in naming the systems. In Network Neighborhood, laptops show up as "LP*****", whereas desktops show up as "PC******". The computer's name is stored in the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName", so I'm thinking that if I can just write a line in the login script that will query this registry key, I can pull off what I'm trying to do.

As always, I appreciate any help.
