Forcing Windows to see DLL's

[Red Ant]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know how I can "force" Windows 98 to see certain DLL's. I'm currently working on a couple of OpenGl C++ programs and I use the GLUT library. Now, when I want to run the exe's I created I need to have the glut.dll in exactly the same directory as the exe or the program won't work.
My question is, is there a way to put this DLL in one specific folder and change some registry key so that windows "knows" where it can be found. This way I wouldn't have to put a copy of the file in every project folder I'm currently working on. Thanks in advance.

I'm no programmer, but aren't dll's recognized as long as they are placed in the path (c:\windows and/or c:\windows\system)

Never mind, found a solution myself :). Just put the glut.dll into my WINDOWS/System folder. No registry messing necessary.

Haha, reghakr, you must have beat me to it by just a few seconds =).

Yea, what are the chances of that happening!
Milliseconds.
