    Default System32.dll


    I was using ResHacker to change the icon of a program I made. I was going to open System32.dll to grab some icons out of it, then I saw that I couldn't find the System32.dll file anywhere. Then I realised I actually wanted shell32.dll. I Googled System32.dll and saw a few websites claiming there was no such thing. So my question is: does System32.dll exist anywhere?

    No. There is no such things as system32.dll at all.

    True it is a virus. But not a real system process. So unless you have a virus you should not see this. Good point to bring up Shawn.
