    Maybe something like this:

    for %%a in ("HKLM" "HKCU" "HKCR" "HKU" "HKCC") do (
    2>nul reg query %%a /s | find /v "    " | find /i "wanted string" | find /v /i "unwanted string"
)

    Remove any unneeded hive roots to taste, or add subkeys
    to narrow the search.

    Remove /i switches to the find commands for a case sensitive search.

    If you are looking for an easy solution for WinXP/2003 through Win8/2012 that has not external dependencies, like enabling PowerShell script execution or installing/copy program files, then using the CMD.EXE prompt’s FOR command is the best bet.

    The semi-colon at the end of the second "for" statement is an error as it produces an empty "for" loop.
