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.

Visual Studio does it well. Use Tools > Attach to Process, Debug > Break All. Then Debug > Windows > Modules. For VS2015+ start that with Debug > Attach to Process.
