How to Remove Unused DLL Files From WinXP

1. Click 'Start' and then choose 'Run' from the menu. Type in 'cmd' at the 'Open' dialog. Click 'OK' to start a Command Prompt window.
2. Navigate to the directory where the DLL file is located using the 'cd' command. Type 'cd' followed by the name of the directory you want to open ('cd Windows\system32,' for instance). Most DLL files in Windows XP are located in the Windows system folder (usually C:\Windows\system32).
3. Enter the command 'regsvr32 /u file.dll,' where 'file' is the name of the DLL file you want to unregister. Press 'Enter.' Wait for the operating system to confirm that the unregistration was successful.
4. Open 'My Computer.' Navigate to the folder where the DLL file is located. Click on the DLL file you want to remove. Press the 'Delete' key and confirm that you really want to delete the file.
5. Restart Windows to make sure that all changes are put into effect.
