Registering / unregistering DLL's

[BlackDice]

there is of course a way to put settings in your registry that will allow you to right-click on a dll or ocx file and then click Register or Unregister fromt the context menu. However, for those of you who don't like messing with your registry (or don't know how) , here's a simpler way to register/unregister:

Just find your regsvr32.exe file and place a shortcut to it in your Windows SendTo folder. Then copy it and in the Target property of the new shortcut, append a '/u' (no apostrophes) to the end of the exe name. Then you can change the names of these shortcuts to "Register" and "Unregister". Then when you right click on a file, just use the SendTo menu to perform your dirty work!

I wanted to register the winsck.ocx using regsvr32 command, but I'm getting the error always that "Load Library failed..". Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

[Zakian]

when registering the dll's use the following command

regsvr32.exe /s dll name

also make sure you are in the directory where the dll is and needs to be registered.

"there is of course a way to put settings in your registry that will allow you to right-click on a dll or ocx file and then click Register or Unregister from the context menu.

No need to fiddle with your registry. Just open up Notepad, copy/paste the follow text to a new document, and save that document as a .reg file (eg DLL.REG). Make sure it does not have a .txt extension (eg DLL.REG.TXT). Then all you have to do is double-dlick on the .reg file to import it to your registry. Done. Right-click on any DLL or OCX file, and you should see the two added options, REGISTER and UNREGISTER. More elegant than using the SEND TO menu.
