    Hi! How can I determine which application is using a given DLL. Let's say if I want to delete the dll file and then I get a message that DLL is locked by other application? DavidR

        While that utility does indeed show what DLLs are loaded, I do not see it showing what applications those DLLs are loaded by. Did I miss something?
