Unload Unused Dlls

UNLOAD UNUSED DLLs

after as application is closed, XP has the annoying habit of leaving the associated DLL files in memory. This can hog precious resource and memory, and also cause stability problem. make the DLLs unload themselves from memory when program is done running

navigate to :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft|wi ndows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AlwaysUnlo adDLL

and if DWORD AlwaysUnloadDLL is not present, u need to creat it. set the value of "(default)" setting to 1 Application associated Dlls will get unload when app is closed.
