SUMMARY
Many applications expect only one user to use the application at a time. In a multiuser environment like Terminal Server, Dynamic Link Libraries (.dll files) may fail to open if more than one user attempts to use them. The REGISTER utility allows you to tell the system that a particular .dll file should be made available globally to the system and to all users.

Note that registration data for a program is recognized only when the program is loaded. Therefore, if you issue a REGISTER command for a program that is already loaded, the changes will not take effect until the next time the program is loaded.

Syntax
register filename [/system | /user] [/guitext | /noguitext] [/v] [/?]

/? (help)
