Let's suppose we have this program called "PMDLL.EXE" and we want all *.DLL files associated to this program, so when you double click a DLL file you will open it.
One alternative is to grab the "PMDLL.EXE" and do a right-click on it and select "Properties". On the properties you can select "Association" tab and associate PMDLL.EXE with a "File Type" listed there, on this case is "Dynamic Link Library".
After doing that, we can select a DLL file, go to "Settings" and select its "Type", on this case it is "Dynamic Link Library".
You will notice now that PMDLL.EXE is associated to open that DLL file.
