reading registry values on remote servers using a list of servers in PowerShell

I am a newbie to PowerShell and I need some help in writing a script. I have found out how to get the registry values from remote servers by the following reg query command:
reg query \\servername\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Disk

What I would like to do is the following:
Setup a server.txt file that I can populate with the names of remote servers I need to query the registry on from my laptop. Next I would like to read registry values for TimeOutValue that will display on the screen for different servers. I know this is probably elementary to the experts, but I would really appreciate any assistance.

Thank you

If you're going to do this on multiple computers you might as well do it on a bunch of them at a time! Something like this:

 Invoke-Command -Computer (get-content c:\junk\servers.txt) -ScriptBlock {Get-ItemProperty -Path: HKLM:SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Disk -Name TimeOutValue}

The plain-text file "servers.txt" would hold the name of each server on a separate line.

If you'll take a suggestion you won't regret, read this (it's downloadable and it's free): Windows-PowerShell-4

Like this:


 Invoke-Command -Computer (get-content c:\junk\servers.txt) -ScriptBlock {
     Get-ItemProperty -Path: HKLM:SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Disk -Name TimeOutValue 
 } | 
     Select-Object PSComputerName, TimeOutValue |
         Out-File c:\temp\timeoutvalue.txt
