Description

RegDllView is a small utility that displays the list of all registered dll/ocx/exe files (COM registration). For each registered file, you can view the last date/time that it was registered, and the list of all registration entries (CLSID/ProgID).
RegDllView also allows you to unregister dll/ocx files that you don't need on your system anymore. If you have dll/ocx files that don't exist on your system anymore, but their registration entries are still exist in your Registry, you can manually remove these entries by using 'Delete All Entries For Selected Files' option.
Starting from version 1.35, RegDllView also allows you to register dll/ocx files (like regsvr32), simply by dragging one or more files from Explorer folder into the window of RegDllView.

System Requirements

This utility works on any version of Windows - from Windows 98 to Windows 10. There is also a separated download for handling x64 registrations.

Start Using RegDllView

RegDllView doesn't require any installation process or additional DLLs. Just copy the executable file (RegDllView.exe) to any folder you like, and run it.
The main window of RegDllView has 2 panes:

• The upper pane - Displays the list of all registered files.
• The lower pane - Displays the list of all COM registration entries of the selected file in the upper pane.

Tips for using RegDllView

• If you want to view the files that registered in the last hours/days, simply click the 'Last Registered On' column, and the list will be sorted according to the registration date.
• If you want to find obsolete registrations on your system, simply click the 'Missing File' in order to sort the list by 'Missing File' status.
• You can unregister multiple dll files simply by selecting them in the upper pane, and then using the "Unregister Selected Files" option. However, this feature won't work on missing/corrupted files.
• The 'System Entries' column displays the number of COM entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID for the specified file.
• The 'User Entries' column displays the number of COM entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID for the specified file.

Command-Line Options

/stext <Filename>	Save the list of registered dll files into a regular text file.
/stab <Filename>	Save the list of registered dll files into a tab-delimited text file.
/scomma <Filename>	Save the list of registered dll files into a comma-delimited text file (csv).
/stabular <Filename>	Save the list of registered dll files into a tabular text file.
/shtml <Filename>	Save the list of registered dll files into HTML file (Horizontal).
/sverhtml <Filename>	Save the list of registered dll files into HTML file (Vertical).
/sxml <Filename>	Save the list of registered dll files to XML file.
/sort <column>	This command-line option can be used with other save options for sorting by the desired column. If you don't specify this option, the list is sorted according to the last sort that you made from the user interface. The <column> parameter can specify the column index (0 for the first column, 1 for the second column, and so on) or the name of the column, like "Filename" and "Name Only". You can specify the '~' prefix character (e.g: "~Last Registered On") if you want to sort in descending order. You can put multiple /sort in the command-line if you want to sort by multiple columns. Examples: RegDllView.exe /shtml "f:\temp\regdll.html" /sort 2 /sort ~1 RegDllView.exe /shtml "f:\temp\regdll.html" /sort "Company" /sort "Filename"
/nosort	When you specify this command-line option, the list will be saved without any sorting.

Translating RegDllView to other languages

In order to translate RegDllView to other language, follow the instructions below:

1. Run RegDllView with /savelangfile parameter:
   RegDllView.exe /savelangfile
   A file named RegDllView_lng.ini will be created in the folder of RegDllView utility.
2. Open the created language file in Notepad or in any other text editor.
3. Translate all string entries to the desired language. Optionally, you can also add your name and/or a link to your Web site. (TranslatorName and TranslatorURL values) If you add this information, it'll be used in the 'About' window.
4. After you finish the translation, Run RegDllView, and all translated strings will be loaded from the language file.
   If you want to run RegDllView without the translation, simply rename the language file, or move it to another folder.
