If you want to open in it in the browser, you can use something like that:

cobj.Navigate().GoToUrl("file:///C:/Users/yourUserName/Downloads/image004.jpg");

Just change the file type and so on.

You can't open files with Selenium. Opening files is part of the operating system. Selenium only drives the browser, so after the file is downloaded Selenium is finished.

Some other tools to pick-up after Selenium has downloaded the file:

Automating Citrix is also not possible with Selenium.

Can we automate Application available under Citrix Program Neighbourhood?
