Prevent Visual Studio from trying to load symbols for a particular DLL

Question

I have Visual Studio 2005 set up to use Microsoft\'s symbol servers. I also have UltraMon installed, which injects a hook DLL into every process. Whenever I start debugging

Answer 1

From Visual Studio 2010 onwards, you can go to:

Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> Symbols -> Specify excluded modules

and enter the list of the dlls which take too long to load. I use the full path, given by the Output Window; maybe it accepts wildcards or simple file names.
