    Make sure that those files types have a program assigned to them.

    From Windows Explorer, press Tools --> Folder Options.

    Click on the 'File Types' tab.

    See if XML is in the list, and make sure that it is associated with a program capable of reading it (Internet Explorer, Notepad, etc..)

    If it is not in the list, click New, and follow the instructions to add a new file type.
