REGISTRY ENTRY: AlwaysUnloadDLL

DESIRED VALUE: 1

This video covers a registry tweak that will keep program DLL files out of your system memory by automatically unloading the DLL file when programs are closed. This registry tweak is especially important for individuals who do not restart their computers often and tend to work with quite a few applications on their computers. DLL files do not take up a huge amount of memory, but it is good to automatically unload those files when programs are closed simply because after you close a program you will no longer need those DLL files.
