Windows .DLL's
I am quickly getting tired of "re-inventing the wheel," and was wondering if there was anywhere online where the utilities within each windows .dll file are identified and explained. I've already searched online extensively, but couldn't find anything. Does anybody here know of such a resource?

A lot of the DLLs contain functions from the Windows API. Learn more about it, and you will understand the things better

I understand that many .DLL's contain functions from the windows API. However, if I wanted to utilize a function from a .DLL in a program (for example, a "save as..." dialog), I need to know the filename of the .DLL containing the function, and I need to know the name of the actual name of the function within the .DLL. I know neither at this point, so I'm trying to find a site or other resource where I can find that information about Windows .DLL files.

For the Open and Save as boxes, use the Common Dialog Box Library

I have read about Dynamic Library Link in a book called "Operating Systems" by William Stallings.
Though, I know the concept, I would not be able to put it 100% correctly here..(atleast for the moment...I do not want to commit a mistake...) I suggest, you can read about it from that book or (Windows specific book for Operating Systems) (and may be....you can get some help from VC++ help or book related to it...)
