There are many file extensions that can only be opened by the
application designed for it. These files contain machine type coding,
and nothing that would be easily human interpretable.
There are some utility programs that are designed to convert machine
coded files back to assembly language for troubleshooting and analysing
them. These are commonly known as debugging tools. It would take a fair
amount of knowledge of assembly language, and the resources information
to follow the codes, in order to work out their actions.
In the operating system for Windows, available at the system prompt,
there is a program called Debug. You would have to search out the
tutorial about how to use it. You must take care when using it, that
you do not overwrite a non desirable type of code to any of the files
that you are opening with it.
A basic guide to Debug:

In article <413faa70@news.alphalink.com.au>, fares@alphalink.com.au
says...
common -- for example *.jpg files can be opened by almost any image
editor.
However, a huge number of programs create files that can only be opened
by that program. For example, Adobe Pagemaker creates *.pmd files. In
general, the only way to open these files is to buy the program.
Filex on http://www.filext.com/ keeps a list of extensions so you can
for the most part work out what program you need. Once you know that, it
might be worth doing a Google search to see if people have found other
ways or opening the file, or whether the makers provide a free
"viewing" program

Wordpad, notepad if they don't open them then there is no reason to open
them.

Wordpad, Notepad, MS Word have various limitations and are not
recommended if you do a lot of file editing. Notepad only loads
files up to a certain length and with the others, you run the risk of
inadvertently altering the code before resaving it.
Use a professional file editor like most programmers do...
One such item is Ultra - Edit. I've used it for years. Inexpensive
and lots of nice features.
