The best orphaned DLL finder?

Okay. Yes. I'm lazy. I didn't do a google search, but I did look at a
few freeware sites. What's the best freeware program to find and
archive dll files that not being used?

Thanks,
Charlie

I've used Clean System Directory in the past with no ill effects

OS: 95/98

IMHO, a better solution would be to monitor each install with Total
Uninstall.
Then, you'll have no useless dll's. Check 'em on, suck 'em off - all gone.
P.S. Including all the useless shyte in the registry as well.

So I decided to test it on 98SE

It crashed twice at the same point each time.

Dunno if it doesn't like SE, or doesn't like my current setup.

This worked fine on 98SE. Took 700 seconds to find 16 orphans.

Odd app though. It is an install, which installs another app at the same
time - some sort of proxy app that I couldn't be bothered to look at
closely.

It works perfectly - and slightly faster - as a standalone...

I found the overhead of TU to be too high.. AnalogX is on
the right track, but it always hangs in the middle of a scan,
and I am not able to specify which drive it should scan.
