Enable windows to Automatically remove unnecessary DLL's from Cache Memory

[CrazyCrusher]

ah good windows tip I might add I found this to be pretty good.

Sometimes XP keeps DLL,s in Cacher memory even when the program that required them is no longer running: this can cut down on the memory available to other applications, particularly with low memory systems. This simple registry Hack allows XP to automatically remove these DLL's from cache memory.

Run the Registry Editor(Regedit) and go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\explorer.

Create a new DWORD Value named AlwaysUnloadDll, and give it a data value of 1.

Exit the registry and reboot for the new settings to take effect. Note that this setting may cause problems with some programs. Some windows programs--especially older and 16-bit programs--may issue error messages with this setting in effect; so if that happens, delet the new key or give it a Value of 0.

I found this to be quite the windows XP tip, works well, and I have had know problems at this time, but remember be wise when playing with the registry always back up, and if you dont know what your doing good luck :)

Some applications may fail to work after using this tweak.

Unloading DLL's is one of the classic Windows tweaks, however i personally have never felt much of a difference from it, and, as Johnny points out, it can potentially upset the applecart with some applications (though ive never had problems personally)

yes it can but as I have said, I have yet to come accross problems with it, as it says in my post.

if you do start to have any problems just delet the new key or give it a Value of 0. and that will fix any problems you have :)
