search through registry for a value

[Jeffy-Jeff]

I am trying to figure out how to go about searching through the
registry, from a specific key
(HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318})
down through about 24 subkeys (0000 - 0024) and locate a value called
"SpeedDuplex" that manages the NIC card Duplex setting. Take that value
and then change it. If it is a 0 make it a 4 and if it is a 4 make it a
0. Of course this will need to be run as a Local Admin to edit the
registry.

I have tried a few different things from RegRead to resource kit tools
(reg query) and am completely stuck. I am trying to learn VBscript and
WMI but have a long way to go I see.

Would anyone be willing to assist me?
