It sounds to me like the filenames don't have the .fm extension (on a Mac, it isn't needed), so Windows doesn't know what to do with them when you double-click on their icons. What happens if you select FrameMaker from the dialog it displays? Or if you try to open them from within Frame, using the File->Open command. In either case, if it is a Frame file it will begin with <MakerFile X.YZ> (as Thomas pointed out) and Frame will ask you to confirm that you want to convert it to the 7.0 format.
