    Identify which dlls an executable uses

    Hi

    I've seen some digital forensics books and articles refer to having a "clean" version of executables (such as cmd.exe from various versions of Windows) on write-only media. It struck me that some (if not most) executables use one or more dlls and I wonder of it's possible to trace which is/are used? Ideally, I'd like to use a utility which is native to Windows but, if that's not possible, freeware or shareware.

    Thanks for your time.

    Process Explorer?

    Maybe this is what you're looking for?

    I came in to the world with nothing. I still have most of it.

    Thank you for the tips. I'll look into these apps.

    And don't forget for XP, the built-in tasklist /M

    I had no idea about that switch - it looks very useful. Thank you.
