ABSTRACT:
A system for managing DLL modules and providing administrators of Windows based PCs with more control over Windows modules. The invention beneficially patches standard Windows API call logic with code that serves to (i) more accurately load the correct DLLs associated with specified applications, (ii) enable multiple DLLs of the same name to be loaded simultaneously where otherwise precluded (such as in a 16-bit Windows environment) and (iii) efficiently track module use and the relationships between modules at run-time.
