DLL Genius - Why You Should Use DLLs
DLL Genius is a free application software download that lets you download and register in seconds any DLL library you want. Just indicate the name of the library you want to register (usually Windows does not say it when you have a specific library in mind) and click on “OK”; DLL Genius will search for the file, download it, and register it in a few seconds.
DLL files are shared libraries that help multiple applications run efficiently. They also save your computer RAM as multiple apps can use the same DLL file to execute similar actions at the same time.
You can edit DLLs in a decompiler or with Windows Visual Studio, but beware: changes to DLLs can corrupt your operating system or the apps that used the DLL. It is best to avoid editing DLLs.
Updates and fixes are easier to apply to individual modules of a program when they are isolated in a DLL. This allows you to apply updates without having to rebuild the whole program.
Another benefit of using DLLs is that they help you develop modular programs, which are separate parts of a larger program that are loaded at run time when they are requested. For example, an accounting program may have many modules that can be loaded at run time.
You can also use DLLs to isolate a program from changes to shared DLLs by adding version-specific information or by using an empty.local file. To use this technique, locate your DLLs in the program root folder and then add version-specific information to them.
