a DLL file is a Dynamic Link Library, its EXACTLY as its name a library, it stores vital information for the computer and software to work properly, the program constantly looks back to it to see if its doing its function properly, its like cells in your body there 10's of thousands of them scattered in your computer.
An easier way to understand is think of a plug-in like the MSN Messenger Now Playing Plugin from Windows Media Player, all the plugin is a DLL file, WMP looks at it and says I have to do this and give the info to MSN, thats what DLL files are libraries of a set of instructions.
