What+are+DLL+files?


 * What are DLL files? **

DLL (Dynamic Link Library) files are basically “support” files for certain types of software. They are generally found in your Windows System directory.

When a program needs to perform an operation. Rather than all the coding being built into the program, it uses a particular DLL file that, with a simple call, can perform the operation for it. This saves lots of programming time, especially since many of the common DLL files are already installed with Windows.

With regards to deleting these files. The best advice is **__ not to __**, since many of your DLL files are used by more than one program.
