Open it with Notepad (or any pure text editor). The contents will be either plain text, or a bunch of garbage symbols (or a mix of garbage and readable text). If it's garbage, it's at least partially a binary file used within an application of some kind. If it's all plain text, it could be the file holding settings, or just some kind of help/text file.
