Those are VMWare files. If you are using VMware server you can import those files and use them as a virtual server.

Yep, they are 'virtual machine' files. You should download VMWare Player (a free download) from

http://www.vmware.com.

VMWare Player will allow you to play these files and start the virtual machine.

Your boss sent you a VMWare image with no instructions on what he wants you to do with it?
