Files ending with .pst are backups of your Outlook contacts, e-mails, etc. and Outlook would be used to open such a file. Outlook.bak is apparently another backup of a renamed pst file, and extend.dat is also associated with Outlook and cannot istelf be viewed.
I have no idea which backup program you used to create these backups. The real question is, is your Outlook currently working correctly? If so, these backup files may no longer be needed.
