DLLs compatible with LBB

LB Booster should be fully compatible with the following standard Windows DLLs. They have pre-assigned handles so do not need to be explicitly opened or closed in your programs:

DLL	handle
ADVAPI32.DLL	#advapi32
COMCTL32.DLL	#comctl32
COMDLG32.DLL	#comdlg32
GDI32.DLL	#gdi32
KERNEL32.DLL	#kernel32
SHELL32.DLL	#shell32
USER32.DLL	#user32
WINMM.DLL	#winmm

Many other DLLs, both supplied with Windows and available from third parties, are also compatible with LBB, but not all (although in most cases it should be possible to achieve compatibility by modifying LBB). The table below lists those DLLs whose status is known; if you have additional information please add it to the table:
