Unload.dll’s to Free Memory

March 12, 2008

Windows Explorer caches DLLs (Dynamic-Link Libraries) in memory for a period of time after the application using them has been closed. This can be an inefficient use of memory.

Find the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer].

Create a new sub-key named ‘AlwaysUnloadDLL’ and set the default value to equal ‘1? to disable Windows caching the DLL in memory.

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.
