I need to open a linux file using windows.
I don't have linux installed anywhere on this system.
Is it possible to open a linux file using windows? If so, how and what?

Yes, you can open Linux files on Windows. Whether or not you have the necessary program/emulator installed which can read/interpret/run that file is another matter, and depends on what specific type of file you're talking about.

There doesnt tend to be a linux file, just like there isnt a windows file. It tends to be file for a program. Word, or Excel, or Paint, or some other program.
And the answer is almost always yes. You can open it. Now if you mean "run" it, then the answer gets more complicated.

Depends on what "open" means. If you are taking an ASCII configuration file or script and want to "view", then you can use any Windows editor (i.e. NotePad, Write, etc...). If you mean to "execute" the file, then you will need to consider some sort of emulator/virtualization environment to execute the file.
