Abstract

Methods and system for dynamically injecting dynamic link libraries into a process in a windowed operating system. The methods includes determining which dynamic link libraries should be injected into a process on a windowed operating system. The methods and system may allow specific dynamic link libraries to be loaded into specific address spaces for every process created in a windowed operating system such a Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT. The dynamic link libraries are loaded prior to the execution of any application related code in a process address space created by a windowed operating system. The methods and system solve many of the problems associated with injecting dynamic link libraries into an address space created for a process by a windowed operating system.
