I'd rewrite this with the try/except inside the loop.
while True: # use the boolean value, its clearer IMHO :-)
try:
name.append(...)
print name[-1]
i += 1
except WindowsError: pass
However since you should(?) only get the error when you run out
of keys to iterate that shouldn't cause your problem...

Note that this call will create a new name list inside the recursive
call. You probably need to do:
name += ListRegistryKeys(item)

Otherwise this just returns the top level list.

You could just call parseRegistry directly, there is no rule to
say you need to use a main() function.
