You know me, I love to swim around in the Windows Registry to see what floats to the surface, and once I find a gem, I fancy using my new found wealth in an automated fashion. Doeskey not only queries a registry value, but it can make a direct comparison to a specified value, then return the results to an ERRORLEVEL, which is extremely helpful to those of you that are hooked on batch files, particularly with login scripts. I can think of a hundred ways that a registry value comparison could help an administrator. A couple of quick ideas might be to verify a user or system setting to see if it has been changed, or maybe to detect the value the operating system identifier in order to apply a fix to certain versions of Windows.
