You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .cms. Files with the file extension .cms can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .cms files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .cms file?

Connection Manager Service profile files are affixed with the .cms extension and are classified as data files used by the Microsoft Connection Manager Administration Kit software. Microsoft developed files in the CMS format to store details referenced by the Windows Connection Manager application for facilitating associated functionalities of remote dial-up connections. The Microsoft Connection Manager software is a program that can be used by administrators of Microsoft Windows-based systems to create and configure remote dial-up connections. These connections can be used by other users. The Windows Connection Manager Administrator Kit(CMAK) software was developed by Microsoft to create files in the CMS format. These CMS files also contain reference data associated to entries in the phone book accessed by the Microsoft Windows-based system. The system does this when a user requires the implementation of functionalities corresponding to remote dial-up connection profiles created by administrators with the Windows Connection Manager application.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .cms files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .cms. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
