Right-click the file and choose Properties. Most .exe's and .dll's should have
a Version tab where you can often tell what company wrote the file. You can
then use this info for further digging on Google.

Does anyone know of a list of files for Windows NT/2000 that show what each
file does or what application it is related to. For example: I have a list
of several .DLL files and I want to find out what applications they belong
to. I also have several .exe files in that list, I need to know what they
do also. Thanks
