A DLL that is automatically loaded at the time a program starts.

A DLL you name at link-time when you build your program is always implicitly loaded immediately after your program is loaded. Your program does not run unless all the implicit DLLs are found and successfully loaded as the program starts up.

See also explicitly loaded library in the glossary.
