* TIP: HOW CAN I STOP WINDOWS FROM CACHING A .DLL FILE AFTER I CLOSE
THE PROGRAM THAT WAS ACCESSING IT?
   ( contributed by John Savill, http://www.windows2000faq.com )

A. Windows caches .dll files to speed disk I/O. However, even after
you close the calling program, the .dll file remains cached. To stop
Windows from caching .dll files after you've closed the calling
program, perform the following steps:
   1. Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
   2. Navigate to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
registry subkey.
   3. From the Edit menu, select New, DWORD Value.
   4. Enter the name AlwaysUnloadDLL, then press Enter.
   5. Double-click the new value, set it to 1, then click OK.
   6. Close the registry editor, then reboot the machine for the
change to take effect.
