What a problem, that you try to open theese files?

Usually they are subsidiary files, and no need to open then manually:
the program, which is using them, knows exactly -- what to do with them.

BTW, the action is defined not by icon -- but by the file extension,
i.e. by the part of name that you see after the last dot in the name.
And the icon depends on the extension: if there is no program associated
with this extension -- you'll see the generic flying window.

You need to know why you want to open these files before you double-click
them.  For instance, you need to know that they are image files that you
want to open in a picture viewer, or they are a text file that you want to
open in a text editor.

What are these files and what application do you want to open them with?
Or, what is the filename extension (right-click the file and look at
Properties).  If you know the filename extension you can sometimes work out
the application you want to use to open them with.

This web site might help you find what program opens the file extensions
that you are wondering about:

But as Mikhail said, many files are supplemental files for programs that you
run and even knowing what program opens them will not allow you to see
anything inside the files.  If you are cleaning up and trying to find files
to delete, deleting these would cause your program to fail and you'd have to
reinstall the program that required them.

I suspect that these files are Picture Files that when you saved them, for
some reason the
.JPG extention didn't get added to the filename.  Therefore no program knows
how to deal
with them.

So you could try remaning the file... just add the .JPG to the end and then
try clicking on it
again.  If this doesn't work.   You better just rename the file as it was
before.

This same thing happened often on my mum's computer, and that was all I had
to do to fix it.

Good luck with it!
