I've been seeing this certain file extension lately on my computer, but I do not know what programs to run them. What are file extension dll?

DLL is most commonly a "Dynamic Linked Library". DLL files are not intended for users to open/run. They contain "helper programs" that are used by other programs.

Here is a helpful source for future reference : http://www.file-extensions.org/dll-file-extension

Never delete them...They also are used for hardware drivers on your computer too.

Let's just cut through it, they're modules (code) used in software. Don't delete them unless you know exactly what they do (chances are you don't in 99.99% of cases).

there is a command under Windows called rundll.exe and rundll32.exe

that allow you to call functions from a DLL that are explicitly written to be called by them.
