Why you want to know this? Seems something wrong with your computer :-(
You cannot open these directly by double-clicking. These are not executables in true user sense. These can be opened & used by the computers programs though.
I am sure you are not a programmer, but just as a hint there is a Win32 API LoadLibrary which can load dll's inside a C/C++ program.

the guy at the top is correct, but he forgot to mention that some dll carry resourses, adn if you have a programme such as an icon editor you can look at those resourses. however the rest is just functions used by us programmers adn are totally usless unless you know wahts in there or have the docs for them.

These files are typicially drivers. They dictate how an added piece of hardware like a printer or modem communicate with the operating system and the computer itself. Unless you're a programmer or ver computer literate I wouldn't mess with them.
