Theob has accurately pointed out that there is lots of debate on this one. Many posts say that it was used for pre win2000 systems and is no longer used by XP. It is applicable to Explorer so logically it may do nothing for CMP. Others say it is intended only for programmers to help them in debugging, implying it is still there but not publicized. Could be my imagination, but I believe it had an impact, so I'd be interested in your listening impressions. It is easy to do and easy to reverse. Take a registry export to be extra safe.

No troubles booting up.
There have been so many improvements realized lately with the .dll and driver deletions (along with files ...) that I hesitate to say that I heard something.
If I do it is subtle (duh).
I think this is part of the cumulative gains made with this new initiative. It is likely an important building block. I still wonder, depending on how many of these .dll files we find we can delete if this will become less important? Going in circles, I know.
My machine is minimalist so I can only speak for machines in similar states of tune.
Adding AlwaysUnloadDLL set to 1 somehow caused cPlay to freeze if left unused for awhile. Deleting the key and also reinstalling cPlay did not fix this so I had to reinstall the whole system from backup.
The problem appeared in the reinstalled system so it must have been latent...about to happen even aside from this key being added. ksuser.dll is needed for Weiss driver installation and, it seems, proper functioning sooner or later.
I was going to write the same thing as Rick that any change is subtle but seemingly no harm. But now I have noticed that if I leave cPlay running but idling for an extended period, when I go to close it or try to play a track it freezes and a hard system restart is needed. This has happened two or three times now but never before. Sometimes in the past if left it idle I would have to reload cPlay to reset the asio driver but never a freeze. I am going to remove the AlwaysUploadDLL key. Please note I use a Lenovo laptop not the full cMP2 build, and I use a Weiss dac not the julia card.
is it Weiss DAC Asio compatible ?
Of course. Weiss has his own asio driver for it, and I have been using it for years now.
Fantastic!!! Just curious , are you using Firewire conection ?
Yes, firewire, which the Weiss DAC202 sounds best with, as did the DAC2 before it.
Thanks for the feed back. I'm out on business for a week. I'll try removing and reinstalling when I return to see if it is the same on mine. I have all the CMP mods, but it is a laptop as opposed to the target configuration.
so have not encountered an idling problem.
We'll see what else might develop.
