What is the function about rundll32.exe and regsvr32.exe?

I know regsvr32.exe can regist DLL files.
Then what is different about this 2 programs.

RunDll runs API functions from a command line.

rundll32 sendmail,DllRegisterServer

is the same as

regsvr32 sendmail

How many years do you want to spend on finding out.

Type regedit in Start Run and look under here

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID

One file will likely have many entries. Seeya in 2050 for the party (I won't be here for 2100).

rundll is a means of running a dll as if it were a program, without need
for references built into a specific one
