Dynamic Link Library is a dynamic link library that is stored in files with the dll extension and contains compiled program codes and resources. You can run, view and edit these documents using special software.
Instructions
Step 1
Search the Internet for a disassembler program that will allow you to access the dll library code. There is a lot of application data on the web. For example, you can use the free Cygnys Hex Editor. Go to the official website of the application developer at https://softcircuits.com/cygnus/fe and download the installation file. Install the program and run. Click the "Open" button and select the.dll file to view. It will be displayed simultaneously in the form of two tables: a sixteen-digit code and text characters. When editing one of them, the changes will be reflected in the second.
Step 2
Use specialized dll library viewers. For example, the site https://angusj.com/resourcehacker provides a free Resource Hacker application that allows you not only to run and edit the code, but also to view the appearance of the resource. At the same time, in the program settings, it is possible to replace not only codes, but also objects of the opened dll file. You can also use the paid program Resource Tuner, which can be purchased at the link https://www.heaventools.ru/resource-tuner.htm. It differs from the free version in more advanced functionality and many additional settings.
Step 3
Install the Total Commander application on your computer. Go to the folder with the dll library file and select it. After that press the F3 key to open the built-in Total viewer. This method only allows you to run the file, and you should not make any changes, since at best your operating system will freeze, and at worst, the program itself will be seriously damaged.
Step 4
Right-click on any folder icon. Select "Properties" and go to the section that is responsible for changing the shortcut. Click the Browse button and navigate to the dll folder. Thus, you will be able to view the contents of dll files without the possibility of editing.
