In addition to desktop emulation, Windows CE contains several tools that enable you to examine your application as it runs. These remote tools are described in the following table.
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Remote Connection Server | Creates a network connection between a desktop computer and an H/PC. Remote Connection Server will not synchronize a remote device and a desktop computer. |
| Remote Zoomin | Enlarges a section of an H/PC screen. |
| Remote Registry Editor | Edits the Windows CE registry. Because there is no tool like RegEdit on an H/PC, you view and edit the H/PC registry using this desktop tool. |
| Remote Object Viewer | Allows you to view the object store on a remote H/PC device and on a desktop computer. |
| Remote Spy | Displays a graphical view, on a desktop computer, of the system processes, threads, windows, and window messages that are running on a remote H/PC. |
In order to use the remote tools, you must connect your desktop computer to your remote device with a standard serial cable connection. For information on how to physically connect your desktop computer and a remote device, see the user's guide that came with your device.
