I've a panel pc which runs Windows CE 5.0. On top of this runs some proprietary runtime.

Due to the specifics of the network, I would like to add a static "host" entry for one IP. I found out that on CE, hosts entries are stored as registry keys (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/199370)

There is no regedit on CE. And .reg files also are not recognized. I read about a "remote registry editor" from Microsoft which seems to come with the CE "Platformbuilder", which I do not have access to.

So, how can I get to add this key to my device's registry?

Thanks.

The Remote Registry Editor is part of the Visual Studio Remote Tools. These are available in Visual Studio 2008. You can use this to edit the registry - the Platform Builder isn't necessary.
