All, The best I could find on the matter is here, and it explains SafeDllSearchMode well, but I wam wondering if: A) Is it supported on Windows 7? B) If so, does it behave the same way? Thanks in advance, BradBrad

Hi, Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Forum. Based on my research, Safe DLL search mode is enabled by default starting with Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2). And it is enabled in Windows 7 like previous versions. Please kindly refer to the following article about Safe DLL search mode: Dynamic-Link Library Search Order (Windows) Hope it helps.
