I am thinking of editing a dll file. My question is would I need to decompile the file, then edit it, then recompile the dll. Or would Notepad ++ allow me to open the dll file, edit it, then save it as a dll file.
Thanks

That depends on what kind of editing you are talking about. You could open a DLL with Notepad and switch to HEX mode if you have the Hex Editor plugin. Or maybe you could replace text -- but keep the same length! Editing binary files is often a way to create a disaster.
But I don't think you can decompile a DLL easily. I don't know of any way to do that.
