By using the dedicated software you will have more options, e.g. editing the SHAR file or converting the SHAR file to a different file format.
The first important thing is that you will need to download and install a dedicated application that supports the SHAR format on your device.

You can find some examples of dedicated software below, and the full list is here SHAR File Opener
If you still cannot see the contents of the SHAR file, but also don't see the need to install dedicated software, then there are other solutions. Many file types are simply text files or data archives. In this case, you can try to open your SHAR file with the simplest text editor, for example with "Notepad". This does not guarantee success, but in most cases it will allow you to see the contents of the SHAR file to some extent.
The second way is to use a data archiving program. Open Winrar or Winzip and try to unpack your file. If the file is a data archive, you should see what individual files it consists of. Go to the information page about the SHAR file extension. to see what kind of data it contains.
