    This is how this has to be done.

    $sb = { 
    if(Test-Path HKLM:SOFTWARE\cbd){
        write-host 'Path found'
        Remove-Item cbd
    }else{
        write-host 'Path NOT found'
    }
}
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $system -ScriptBlock $sb

    \_(ツ)_/

    Please format your code as code: How to Use the Code Feature in a TechNet Forum Post.

    Please do not use aliasses in scripts. You should read:  The Unofficial PowerShell Best Practices and Style Guide.

    That's all you need actually:

    $ComputernameList = get-content "C:\cb\systems.txt"
foreach ($Computername in $ComputernameList) {
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Computername { 
        Remove-Item 'REGISTRY::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\cbd'
    }
}

    Live long and prosper!
