Joan, The MSHTML.DLL file allows the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser to read and display HTML Web pages. It is a Dynamic Link Library file directly related to how the browser processes HTML files, which make up the vast majority of Web pages. An error in the MSHTML.DLL file may cause the browser to quit unexpectedly when rendering HTML pages, though pages written in other languages are rendered properly. If the MSHTML.DLL file has become corrupted, then there are several steps the user can take to restore browser functionality.

I wish to free up my machines hard drive and have found through AVG many items that have never been used or gotten unto since 2009, 2010, 2014, 2015. Many are dll's and I was told many years ago to never delete a dll, does this still apply? The mshtml.dll's I have found are well over 50 tems.
