It is not reccomended that you open a .dll file as these generally are system files vital for your computer and it's programs to work. NEVER MODIFY A DLL FILE as this can cause your system to become unstable and crash beyond repair

∙ 11y agoDLLs are used by almost any Windows software, and are "opened" by a service that the Windows operating system provides (a LoadLibrary or similar operation). During regular use, DLL files are not "opened" in a way similar to the opening of a Microsoft Word document, for example, since DLL files are not designed for viewing.
DLL files are binary files, and as such can be viewed with many tools designed for viewing arbitrary binary files. Tools with special knowledge about some aspects of DLLs include Windows software development tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio, or the popular Dependency Walker tool.
However, these tools can only reveal certain aspects of a given DLL file; aspects that are based on characteristics common to all DLLs. The "content" of a DLL cannot generally be viewed or edited.
Exceptions include resource DLLs, DLLs that do not contain executable code (or only a marginal portion), but mostly include text data. Resource DLLs are sometimes used to localize software (that is, to enable software to present itself in the user's local language). Resources embedded with a DLL can include text, artwork, and other aspects of the design of the graphical user interface. Within limits, these resources can be edited with specialized tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio.
