Hi guys

I have a question with load dll:

Which dll is firstly loaded, the one from system32 or from the folder where the exe is?

Both dll´s have the same function.

A common technique is using the path the .EXE was loaded from that is requesting the library. Anyway... It has been a while but I believe I questioned this once before and found that if a path is not specified... First checks current directory, thens reverts to System32 directory.
