Network scanner

Can someone point me in the right direction?  I need to develop an application that will scan our network and return all of the computers on the network.  This part I can do.  What I need help with is returning the computer name and operating system for each computer.  I also need to access the registry on each of those machines so that I can scan for the installed applications on each machine.

Tim,
This looks good.  Now one more question.  I need to loop through the keys under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" to get the DisplayName.  Do you know how to do this?

Thanks.  
johnczimm, please give the points to Tim and ask a new question. He did a great job, don't you think so?
I do agree.  I thought if he could answer this quick, I'd increase the points.

For info on 'Retrieve all values under a Registry key' you can take a look at this:
