Dynamic Link Libraries or DLLs is a group of executable functions providing one or more specific functions for a wide range of Windows applications. They are small components of an entire program that gains access to various Windows functions either by producing a dynamic link or a static link to the DLL. A dynamic link is produced by the application as the need arises, while a static link remains the same while executing a program. DLL files are produced by software developers such as Microsoft. The files are usually created as a component of several software packages.
