I am an eager learner when it comes to computers. I have a Windows PC, and I want to know how to open and view the contents of any DLL file. Because when I tried it, they had extensions like .rll or .mui, etc. There was no appropriate software to open these files Also, what I should have in mind when I am doing so?
DLL files are hidden system files because they offer certain functionalities that can be used by many other applications working in the system. These files are present in the System32 folder of C drive.
To view the contents of a DLL file, you need to start by downloading a Decompiler. A Decompiler allows you to see the source code of any file or program. Opening it without using a Decompiler would open a file consisting of symbols and characters that make no sense.
One of the free decompilers is dotPeek. It is available at jetbrains.com. So if you are using dotPeek, then you have to click on the Open option in the File menu, and then browse for the DLL file that you want to decompile. This program also has the option of Assembly Explorer, where you can view the nodes or modules of code. Each node would consist of sub-nodes and a collection of all the notes and notes from the DLL file. So in this manner, you can safely view the contents of any DLL file.
