How can I determine if a DLL is registered from Windows?
How can I check if a DLL is registered from Windows? What I mean is that I need a method that a user can do through Windows (e.g. from the command prompt possibly), not through code.
Thanks,

you seem to mean that you need to know details about windows command prompt commands?
there are several sets of commands available to command prompt.
1. the default commands, can be found using the 'help' command
2. executables (exe & bat files) found in the 'path' variable. There can be numerous. use the 'path' command to find all the places command prompt searches for what you enter, then look for executables in these places. Related documentation for these commands can be found with windows help (WIN+F1) or if the path is added by a 3rd party application, the help should come with that software.
hope this was what you meant to ask.?

Thanks arkoak for the replay.
Your reply may have an answer for me but I need more details. I am creating a procedure for troublshooting a piece of software on remote computers via a web conference. I need a way to test whether a DLL is registered on the remote system or not. I have contol of the remote computer but I cannot move files on and off of the computer (I can't install a new program on it). I already have a procedure to determine if the DLL files are on the computer and to check their size and version but I don't know how to test whether they are registered or not.
1) Go to Start ---> Run ---> "abcdefg"
2) Type in the name of your DLL . . .
Or whatever . . .
I need step by step instructions on how to determine if a DLL is registered on a computer using only the resources available in a normal install of Windows XP.
Anyone have any ideas?
