Microsoft provides many powerful utilities to allow remote operation of a Windows CE device from a Windows PC. These tools include Remote File Viewer, Remote Registry Editor, Remote Process Viewer, and Remote Spy. Remote File Viewer is presented as an example. Often times, you want to peer into a remote system's registry to review a user's registry settings when trying to troubleshoot an application (assuming you're familiar with the registry). However, HKEYCURRENTUSER doesn't come up when you access their system remotely. Open Registry Editor by executing regedit from any command line interface in Windows, like Command Prompt or the Run dialog box. Go to File Connect Network Registry. Type into the large empty space the name of the computer you want to remotely access the registry for. The application has a similar UI to the standard registry editor (regedit) available on the Windows platform. The actual code to read the registry entry and display the values is performed in reditview.cpp. It is standard Win32 registry API and the code is mostly self explanatory. On the Visual Studio Tools menu, click Options, then click Device Tools, and then click Devices. Select Windows CE Device, and then click Properties. To the right of the Transport box, click Configure. In the Configure TCP/IP Transport dialog box, select Use specific IP address, and then type the device IP address.
