    I am afraid that is not possible.
    You are referring to a dynamic library file, which assists in opening files in programs they associated with.
    But you can not open anything in it, because that is not an editor or viewer in any way.

    Depending on your file, you have to use proper program to open that file (ex. bmp in Paint, jpg in Photo Viewer, doc in Word etc.).
    For that right click your file, click a menu OPEN WITH and select proper program.
