Using Windows DLLs

Hello scripters,

After pounding the web and mailists to find "HOW TO" use DLL's, and finding
where to put them in MC, it seems there is no way to handle Windows DLLs as
provided by the WINNT OS. Im wondering if anyone has had any success
building a NTtoMCdllbridge.dll or how else to do this? FYI, using
SHELL+Rundll32 doesn't return info so it's useless. 

With MC+Shell+reskit on NT, after a few hundred calls coming from MC
shell(), user32.dll returns errors for each call (cacls or rmtshare for
example) and then just cannot be used again without having a pop-up error
complaining - I can't reboot the server every hour either... 

Naturally, this only happens on MC, never elsewhere ( i.e. *.cmd batch -
even 20 simultaneous batches dont do this...)... If someone has a
solution/reason for this... Possibly handles not being released by MC though
they are not visible in servermanager...

Im interested in calling c:\winnt\system32\user32.dll directly from MC in
winnt4 sp6... This would also avoid Shell slow-speed problems.

Thanks to anyone who can answer this!

Cheers
Xavier
