One thing I could never understand about Windows XP (as opposed to Unix) is
that, even when I close ALL applications, not all the memory is returned
back to the system. Recently I read that when a Windows application is
closed, some of the associated DLLs remain in memory (so that the
application can re-launch faster the next time). This would certainly
explain the memory issue.
How would I be able to see all the DLLs in memory? The Task Manager only
shows me applications and processes.
More importantly, how do I identify and kill the DLLs associated with the
applications in question?
