PHM Registry Editor is a free registry editor for Windows Mobile based portable mobile devices, previously known as Pocket PC or Pocket PC Phone (PPC Phone) or PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). PHM Registry Editor has not been updated since version 0.70 on year 2002, but lack-of-upgrade does not affect its feature complete functionality. However, users will fail to install PHM Registry Editor by using the desktop installer via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) to the WM devices.
When trying to install PHP Registry Editor to Windows Mobile 5 (WM5) devices and Windows Mobile 6 (WM6) using Desktop Installer (PHMRegEdit.msi) which install via Microsoft ActiveSync or WMDC, the installation will appear to be successful, but in actual the PHM Registry Editor fails to install properly and users won’t be able to locate PHM Registry Editor application software installed on your PDA after installation. PHM Registry Editor is installed properly at desktop computer at C:Program FilesPHMPHM Registry Editor folder. Beside, the PHM Registry Editor is not listed as one of the program available for install or already installed on the mobile device.
The workaround is to download the appropriate CAB for your device CPU type from the PHM.lu Download Center (resource no longer available).
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
If you’re using Windows Mobile 5.0 or 6 (WM5 or WM6), select the Pocket PC 2000,2003 (ARM/PXA) option and download the regedit.Mrln_ARM CAB file. If you have installed the Desktop Installer version, you can grab the CAB file from the installed folder in “Program Files” too. Then copy the regedit.Mrln_ARM.CAB file to the PPC/Windows Mobile device via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center or Windows Explorer, and put the CAB file at anywhere including storage card. Launch File Explorer, and click on the CAB file with stylus, and then follow the instruction on screen to install the FHM Registry Editor. Note that you should answer Yes to security warning, and you can install it on either device itself or on memory card. After installed, users can access and run PHM Registry Editor from Start -> Programs.
Microsoft's Windows Phone and Window 10 Mobile operating systems have always been more locked down than Android, but there are ways around the security.
A new tool just released by Gustave M (@gus33000) lets those on non-interop unlocked devices edit their registries, which could let users tinker around with the OS. The app is still in beta but is available and working.
Interop Tools brings with it three main components for now, including:

Who is this for?
Modifying your registry on a Windows Phone is considered an advanced modification. While it is easy to do with this tool, you can damage your OS. If that happens you will likely need to use the Microsoft Windows Device Recover Tool to re-flash your phone losing any data, saved games, documents, photos, and videos in the process.
Please back up your device before any modifications!
Registry changes can be found at various forums including XDA and even our own at Windows Central. Like all hacks, be careful as there could be unintended consequences. There is a reason why Microsoft locks these features down!
It should also be noted that since this is not an app per se there is no easy (or rather, obvious) way to uninstall it once on your phone.
Where to find it

The Interop Tools (temporary name) by Gustave is not in the Store. As such, you need to download the AppX file from Mega and sideload it onto your device.
Warning
Normally, this should be a red flag as developers do this all the time to test their apps, but it is not recommended to install random AppX files found on the internet.
While there is still a risk here, Gustave is a well-known developer and tinkering on XDA forums and has a public, if slightly underground, reputation. Use your judgment accordingly, but in this case, we are giving a nod for those who are concerned.
If still interested download from the link below:
Enable Developer Mode
To install Interop Tools, you first need to have your phone in developer mode to accept side loading of AppX files.

Download and install
After you have downloaded the AppX file you can open the file directly in Outlook (if emailed it to yourself) or use File Explorer to navigate to where you download it to on your device (usually Downloads folder.
Tapping on the AppX will give you a messaging asking if you want to install the file. Select install from the dialog menu.
That is all that is required.
