I never told that Microsoft has made a mistake to the design of Windows XP, including about memory management. I realize that Microsoft has their own reasons to do it. But, on other hand, I just write that Microsoft has 'prepared' a way to unload .dll files through registry, so I wrote it. But, I heard this trick is not supported on Windows XP SP2 anymore... But the decision still on users hand. Thanks for your additional information. I never told that Microsoft has made a mistake to the design of Windows XP, including about memory management.

DLL's are indeed retained in memory after a program close. This is NOT a mistake but a carefully designed feature known as caching. Caching has had a long and distinguished history and it is highly developed in XP. Windows designers understand XP better than you do. Do not take this authors well meaning but uninformed advice. Windows will perform best without amateurish tinkering such as this. Larry Miller Microsoft MCSA BAD IDEA
