What does the Current\SharedDlls mean?

[Polaris]

Hi:

Anyone can tell me What does
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDlls mean? How to
interpret the number for each dll? I see numbers like 100, but I do not
think the dll is shared by 100 apps.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

That key just lists the physical location of shared library files. The
numbers in the REG_DWORD for each listing should be hex code (base 16), and
in a format of 0x00000003, not anything like 100. Perhaps yours is in binary
(100 being 4 in base 10) rather than hex? Not sure I've ever seen it that
way.
