Unload Unused DLLs

After an application is closed in widows XP, it has the bad habit of leaving the associated DLL files in memory. This can hog precious resources and memory, and also cause stability problems. To makethe DLLs unload themselves from memory after the program is closed,
Navigate to: HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AlwaysUnloadDLL
If the DWORD AlwaysUnloadDLL is not present, you will need to create it. Set the Value of the (Default) setting to 1. Application associated DLLs will get unloaded when the application is closed.
