You might try Irfanview or Xnview - which are both free and capable of opening a wide variety of file formats

If I know the answer I'll tell you the answer, and if I don't, I'll just respond, cleverly

A DAT file is not normally used to store pictures. I'm more likely to believe your friend created a slideshow and saved it in VCD or SVCD format. You may need a video editing program to extract the pictures.
