Monitor Registry Changes (Compact 7)
3/12/2014
You can monitor the registry changes that you make to a Windows Embedded Compact powered device by using the Remote Registry Editor. When you monitor the registry, you can view the history of the registry changes that you make to the device from the point at which the current device connection was made or you can monitor the complete registry. By default, the Remote Registry Editor monitors the previously viewed registry keys in the Registry node for your device, not the full registry.
To monitor changes to the registry
In the left pane of the Remote Tools Shell window, click the History node for your device.
Determine how you want to monitor the registry, either by the previously viewed registry keys or by the full registry, and do one of the following:
To monitor changes to previously viewed registry keys in this session (the default), in the Monitoring Status pane, view the changes.
To monitor the complete registry, in the Monitoring Status pane, click Enable Full Registry Monitoring.
The entire registry of the device is now being monitored for any changes that you make.
Note
Allow time for full registry monitoring to take place.
Any changes that you make to the device's registry will appear in the Remote Tools Shell window, in the Monitoring Status pane, under Key, Action, or Change.
To stop monitoring the registry, in the Remote Tools Shell window, on the File menu, click Exit to close the Remote Registry Editor.
