Difference between revisions of "Edit DLL Files"

If you are looking at some of the more complex parts of your desktop computer environment, you may be wanting to find, open and even edit something called a dynamic link library, or DLL file. DLL files are essentially smaller components of a larger piece of software. As library files, they provide some smaller code modules for specific tasks. This can make the overall software architecture of a program much more efficient. When you need to edit DLL files for any reason, open the DLL file with decompiler software, make the necessary changes, then recompile the DLL file using the same software.

#Locate the DLL files. Dynamic link library files are often loaded in directories that correlate to the placement of a main program in operating system. That said, the DLLs are not necessarily in the same folder as the EXE, or executable file. In order to find them and open them for editing, you may need to search a variety of local directories.
