How to avoid dll-Hijack issue ?
We have a normal C++ MFC application but we kept a .dll file in the same path where our application resides. When we start the application the dll file present in the current directory also loaded and fall in an infinite loop and our real application is non-responsive because the name of the dll is one of the System module dll that is loaded by the framework from the system path.
The reason is it look in the currentdir instead of the system path on Priprity of Dll search.
How we can avoid this dll hijack issue in Windows ?
Means how to avoid the search of dll from current directory rather look at system path at first priority

I have added the following entry by opening the command prompt with Admin privileges
C:\windows\system32>REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
\Session Manager\KnownDLLs" /v dwmapi /t REG_SZ /d dwmapi.dll
ERROR: Access is denied.
Can you let me know how to add the dll names here in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
\Session Manager\KnownDLLs entry
