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

• Load all symbol packages from MS website manually, put them on a SSD drive for speed :-)
• If you have a "_NT_SYMBOL_PATH" environment variable, remove the part "http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols" from "SRVe:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols", so you have only the symbol path where your symbols live preciously downloaded.
• Now you have support for symbols but they wont be downloaded from MS, but loaded from drive
