difference between a COM dll and a Windows dll


Well, I'm not 100% shure, but i think the basic difference is, that a windows dll just exports functions. A COM-dll exports a fixed set of function (like DllRegisterServer and stuff like that) wich provide the Client with access to some COM-Components. In this sense, a COM-dll is a special case of a Windows dll.

Generally, the very reason for inventing dll (Dynamic Link Libraries) was to make them shareable among multiple programms to save memory (that is but one aspect).

This is just a very simplifing answer, but i am not that deep in that matter myself.

As for your last question, for reasons i explained above, you cannot simply interchange the two.
