Open for what ? It's binary files with DB data, what do you want to see from
them manually ?

You mean "add" them to SQL Server?
Check out sp_attach_db.

You need a SQL Server to do that. When you have an installed SQL Server, you can attach the
files using sp_attach_db (assuming they were properly detached in the first place).
