Thank you.How do we know it is encrypted or compressed?
Ask the people who created the file.
When I try to edit with Notepad ++ I can see only one line
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
In that case it is neither encrypted nor compressed. That first line is clear text and shows up in Notepad++, so the rest of the file should be cleartext as well. It surprises me that you see nothing at all in Notepad++.
With Note pad also I can able to read the same line but looks there is something else additional but not able to read. When I open with XML editor it is just opening new browser nothing else
File size is 189KB. It might be too large so can't able to see.
Notepad++ is able to open files that are much larger than this.
You might try looking at the file with a hex editor (but don't bother if you don't know how to interpret the results, then you'd just be looking at a pretty picture). But really, your best course of action right now is to contact whoever created the file for you and get them involved.
