How to See What DLL Files are used by Programs


1. Begin by opening up a command line prompt. Click on the Start button, then click Run and Type CMD and click OK. You can also pull up the command line by going to Start->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt.
2. Inside the command prompt, we are going to type this command:tasklist /mType that into the black box and press enter. It will scroll down every program running and all the dll files that it has loaded.
3. To get a list of dll files loaded for a specific executable program, type this command:tasklist /m /fi "imagename eq [programname]"Replace [programname] with the name of the executable file you want to look up. For instance: tasklist /m /fi "imagename eq explorer.exe"
