    Hi there, thanks for your question.

    Generally, no user would ever need to open a DLL file as it's a system file used by Windows.

    If you're a developer and need access to DLL files, the below link may help:

    Otherwise, if you're experiencing an error with a particular DLL file, please post a screenshot and I'll see what we can do to troubleshoot it.

    Thanks!

    Quite simply - you don't (at least not directly). 

    DLL files - Dynamic Link Libraries - are opened by the program(s) that needs them, when they need them..

    Hi Elvin

    dll files are not human readable by the general user . . .

    Generally they are code libraries that the applications on your PC use to interact with Windows functionality

    Are you getting an error on a particular dll file, or is there some other reason you need to see inside a dll?

    Note: If you are a coder and the dll's in question are from the DotNet Framework, let me know . . .
