How to Access Dll Files Through C


1. Click the Start menu in Windows and double-click the 'My Computer' logo to begin locating the computer's DLL database. Most operating systems store system information in the C drive, so double-click this drive to browse it. If there is a warning screen stating that system files are currently hidden, select the 'Show system files' or 'Show contents of this folder' option and continue browsing. Open the Windows folder.
2. Open the sub-folder labeled 'System-32.' This is where the majority of DLL files are located. Typically, the only reason that a DLL file would not be located here is if a user instructed otherwise during a program installation. Scroll down in the folder until you find the DLL file that you are looking for.
3. Click 'Tools' and then 'Folder options' if no DLL files are showing up in the System-32 folder. Choose the 'View' tab and select from the options to view hidden files and folders. Also, select the option to view file extensions for known file types. All DLL files should now show up in the System-32 folder as ending in '.dll.'
