I know there is a utility for this because I used to use it...just can't remember the name. I'm looking for a Windows (Windows-7) utility that will allow me to select an executable image running and have it tell me what files/dlls that program has loaded and from what directory. I am writing software in Visual Studio and would like to verify at runtime which dlls my program is loading.
Utility for viewing which files/dlls are loaded by an executable image

Instead of installing any third-party tools, we could use Microsoft's tasklist. E.g., to display the loaded DLLs for a program using its name, do this:
C:\>tasklist /m /fi "imagename eq PacketAnalyzerPlus.exe"
Image Name PID Modules
========================= ======== ============================================
PacketAnalyzerPlus.exe 3904 ntdll.dll, wow64.dll, wow64win.dll,
wow64cpu.dll
where the specified options are as below:
/m <module> - Lists all tasks with DLL modules loaded that match the given pattern name. If the module name is not specified, this option displays all modules loaded by each task.
/fi <filter> - Specifies the types of processes to include in or exclude from the query. You can use more than one filter or use the wildcard character () to specify all tasks or image names.
If it is a Windows service, use filter services. E.g. to find all DLLs for service Winmgmt, use this:
C:\>tasklist /m /fi "services eq Winmgmt"
Image Name PID Modules
========================= ======== ============================================
svchost.exe 872 ntdll.dll, kernel32.dll, KERNELBASE.dll,
msvcrt.dll, sechost.dll, RPCRT4.dll,
ole32.dll, GDI32.dll, USER32.dll, LPK.dll,
USP10.dll, IMM32.DLL, MSCTF.dll,...

The command line route is ListDLLs from Sysinternals.
It can list DLLs loaded by a process, or list processes that loaded a given DLL.
use Process Monitor or Process Explorer.
