Not much on DLLs is there?
I received this email from a guy called Stephen:
All of the processes and DLLs listed on "What Process?" have been added by its users. Similarly, they have provided all the comments and knowledge which have helped make this hopefully a useful resource.
The DLL aspect of the site was added more recently as a kind of bright idea for extending the functionality of the site, and whilst lots of DLLs have been added, comments about the DLLs have been slower in coming forward than on the .exes. I imagine the reason for this is that it more people know about .exe files and have an idea of what they do, or notice when they have a rogue one, because they see them listed in Task Manager, or even the What Process? application. And it's fairly easy to understand that when you terminate a process, an application might suddenly close on your screen. DLLs are a bit more of a mystery for most users, I'd guess.
So that is why a lot of the DLL information pages are as yet unpopulated with comments, although i have just modified the page to hopefully explain why that is.
Hope that answers your question Stephen!
splain why the dll's are listed as nothing results from their hyperlink except the same page for any dll dlicked on.I think what Stephen means is why is there not more information about the DLLs listed, and just a message saying "Sorry, no comments yet".
