FOR loop for iterating through Registry hives

I'm working on a script to modify multiple registry keys at the same time. I'm trying to find a way to iterate through the sub-folders under a single registry hive, and run a specific command for each one found. The hive structure looks something like this:

HKLM
    -Blah
        -BLahBlah
            -Databases
                -DB1
                -DB2
                -DB3

What I want to do is basically set a new variable for the DB name, run a script for that specific folder, then move on to the next.

With REG command you can query or edit registry entries. To process them one by one you can use FOR command:

for /f "tokens=*" %%# in ('reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\BLAH\Databases') do echo %%#
