The computer will attempt to open the file. If it has an extension for software that is on your computer that application will then open and the file will be opened in it. If there is no software that can open it, it will alert you and give you the chance to pick something to open it with. If you do not have any appropriate software, it will not open it. Some files are designed not to be opened, by users, like programs or some files that support the operating system. Programs will run, but you will not see the content of the file. So lots of things can happen, depending on the type of file.
