DLL

Short for Dynamic Link Library, DLL is a type of file used with Microsoft Windows, Windows software programs, and Windows drivers. DLL files contain one or more executable subroutines that can be called by one or more programs. DLL files enable software developers to use Microsoft's or other company's routines to perform common tasks and help prevent unnecessary duplication of commonly used code.
