Preload Shared Libraries in Windows

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

Preload Shared Libraries in Windows

Post by Chalks »

So I was thinking, there are a few programs that I use that launch significantly faster the second time I run them. I'm pretty sure this is because the shared libraries are already loaded into windows, right? Is there a tool that allows me to preload selected libraries whenever I want and is there a program that tells me what libraries are currently loaded? Also, if a program could be written in C (or c++) to manually figure this out, any tips on where to start looking would be greatly appreciated it. I think I have an inkling on how to do it in a unix system but windows is a strange beast to me.

Thanks

SuperFetch in Vista does exactly that - only automatically.
