Lack of the correct format in a retrieved .nb file

I have saved Mathematica notebooks on my computer Desktop. Some notebooks appear correctly in a Mathematica window when I click on the Desktop icon. However, others yield the coded form of the notebook in ASCII format, and are unusable. How can I restore the correct format when retrieving the latter files? I do not know if the non functioning files were saved directly with NotebookSave.

The (OS) operating system is in charge of deciding which program opens a file when you double click it.

What is the file extension/type of the files you are opening? Please make sure it is ".nb". Usually the OS has a program specified to open each file extension. There's also usually a dialog where you can change which programs open which file extension.

What OS are you using?
