Enabling the Target Control Service (Windows CE 5.0)
To enable the target control service, you must first build a run-time image that supports the tool. When you enable Target Control, Platform Builder includes shell.exe, in the run-time image.
By default, a run-time image that supports Target Control includes KITL, regardless of the build options you choose.
For more information about enabling Target Control during the build process, see How to Use the IDE to Create, Customize, and Build a Run-Time Image.
When enabled, Target Control runs independently as a connectivity service. For general information about connectivity services, see Core Connectivity Overview.
