Automating registry changes to other machines

OK. Fairly newbie question here...

I've got a list of changes to the registry for a windows 2000 machine.
I'm quite happy going in using regedit and doing this.

If I export before and after doing the changes, is there any way to
compare and see what registry values have been changed?

Can I use this file or something to go to another machine and run this
rather than having to do all the changes manually again?

You can use fc.exe.

Yes: regedit.exe /s somefile.reg.

OP should say where in the registry these changes are to be made.
If HKCU then changes for other profiles must be considered.
If HKLM Administrator authority may be required.
See also the MS utility: REG.EXE
for direct registry manipulation from a CLI or batch file.

It should go without saying that a Full Registry Backup must be
made before testing whatever methods and changes.
