Dear List,
I use Remove It 95 to delete orphan files like .dll's and .ini's. The
problem I'm having is trying to determine what program or programs uses
that specific .dll. Is the program even still on the hard drive. Remove
It tells me that I have 76 orphan .dll's taking up 13,462,910 bytes, here
are an example of what comes up:
Autodesk Windows Animation Player:> Version 1.02
C:\Windows\System\AAPLAY.DLL 06/25/1993 137,232
Windows 32-bit Executable
C:\Windows\System\LFFAX61N.DLL 08/01/1996 176,128
Full-text Indexer
C:\Windows\System\MVIX14W.DLL 09/28/1995 60,928
I have no idea what programs use these .dll's and most reside in Windows\
System. I don't want to delete any file and then find out that some
program using that file won't work because it can't find the link it
needs. I've also run Clean System Directory but it only comes up with
about 20-30 .dll's. Who do you believe? How do you find out what program
is referenced by these .dll's.
TIA
Lynn Kucera
