  Couple of points on opening unknown files....
  
  1.  If you don't know the source, don't open them.
  
  2.  Look at the file size, there are often small files that a program will
store somewhere as a reference for itself; if you're looking for, let's say a
picture, a 1 KB file won't be what you're looking for.
  
  3.  I often open files with unknown extensions in Microsoft Notepad, it 
opens
almost anything and at least gives me an idea of what it is.
