this list shows all known file extentions (the .xxx part of a file) and what to use them with to burn or mount them. to easily find the extention you want, push CTRL + F and type in the file extention.

.iso - practically any program supports this. Alcohol 120%, Daemon Tools, PowerIso, MagicIso, among others are good programs for it.
.mds/.mdf - these are file extentions for Alcohol 120%.
.rar - WinRAR. it's a type of archive.
.zip - alot can use this. WinRAR, WinZip, WinAce, and 7-Zip are the common programs for it.
.r01/.r02/etc. - these are multi-part WinRAR files. all you need to do is extract part 1(.r01) in WinRAR, and it will automatically use the rest for you. after part 1 is extracted, that's all you need to do with it to get the iso
.part01.rar/.part02.rar/etc see the above .r01/.r02/etc. extention, it's the same thing
.001/.002/etc - these are either WinRAR or 7-Zip files. it is impossible to tell which without trying. i recomend trying 7-Zip first, as it normally is the correct choice. extract part 1 and it will auto get the rest
.daa - PowerISO is the only program that can open these
.bin - these are supported by many types, some require a .cue file to work however. Daemon Tools can open these without a .cue file however. can also be a Sega Genesis or Master System rom file.
.cue - a supporter for .bin or .img files. this is the actual file used to load .bin or .img file in many programs
.img - see .bin above
.bwt/.b6t - these are BlindWrite files, but the latest version of Daemon Tools can also use them
.ccd - CloneCD file opener to use .bin or .img files
.sub - if this is included, ignore it and open the provided .cue file, or use Daemon Tools to mount the .bin or .img file
.dvd - a layerbreak for Dual-Layer isos for use when burning CloneCD. if this is provided, open it from CloneCD and it'll automatically load the correct iso for you, which can be many extentions
.ace - a type of archive. WinAce is the best for this type.
.nzb - see this link. you must be signed in to view it
.7z - a archive type. 7-Zip opens it
.z64 - a n64 rom. Project 64 and 1964 are the best n64 emulators imo
.smc - a snes rom. Zsnes and Snes9x are the most common emulators, but i recomend Zsnes
.nes - a NES rom. there are too many nes emulators to count, one of the best being FCE Ultra
.gba - a Gameboy Advance Rom. i recomend VisualBoy Advance for a emulator
.n64 - see .z64 above
.v64 - see .z64 above
.swc - see .smc above
.gbc - a Gameboy Color rom. Visualboy Advance is the best choice here
.gb - a Gameboy rom. again, Visualboy Advance is by far the best choice
.smd - a Genesis or Master System rom file. i recomend using Gens for it
.ngp - NeoGeo Pocket rom. Koyote is the best emulator, though it's not perfect
.pce - TurboGrafix-16 rom. Hu-Go! is the best emualtor, though not full speed
.ws - Wonderswan rom. Oswan is the best emulator
.gen - see .smd above
