Manually Registering and Unregistering DLL’s

When playing around with Windows, it’s handy to be able to quickly load and unload DLL’s. Here are the commands needed to do just that. These commands are run from the command prompt, however there is nothing stopping you from creating a shortcut that does the same thing.

Unregister a DLL:

REGSVR32 /U "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\SQLDMO.dll"

Register a DLL:

REGSVR32 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\SQLDMO.dll"
