title: Is DLL loaded in kernel mode or user mode?
body: <p>I was asked such a question in an interview:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>In windows, suppose there is an exe which depends on some dlls, when you start
    the exe, and then the dependent dlls will be loaded, are these dlls
    loaded in kernel mode or user mode?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am not quite sure about the question, not the mention the answer - could you help to explain?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
