    DLL hooking into 2 programs

    Can a DLL hook into 2 programs at the same time?

    Two copies of the same DLL, yes. It is loaded into each process separately so cannot be shared between them.

    It is not two copies actually. The runtime makes it appear so, but it's just one copy mapped into two respective address spaces of these processes.
