Sets the default load flags used when `LoadLibrary` is used to load DLLs.

This flag can be used to prevent DLL planting attacks. For example, if an app uses `LoadLibrary` to load a dependent DLL, an attacker could plant a DLL with the same name in the search path used by `LoadLibrary`, such as the current directory, which may be checked before system directories if safe DLL search mode is disabled. Safe DLL search mode places the user's current directory later in the search order, and is enabled by default on Windows XP SP2 and later versions. For more information, see [Dynamic-Link Library Search Order](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/ms682586.aspx).

For example, if you specify the link option `/DEPENDENTLOADFLAGS:0xA00` (the value of the combined flags `LOAD_LIBRARY_SEARCH_APPLICATION_DIR | LOAD_LIBRARY_SEARCH_SYSTEM32`), then even if safe DLL search mode is disabled on the user's computer, the DLL search path is limited to protected directories that are more difficult for an attacker to change. For information on the flags available, and their symbolic and numeric values, see the *dwFlags* parameter description in [LoadLibraryEx](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=236091).
