Put the CD in the drive and a window should come on showing the contents,
or click start and highlight My Computer then click on your CD drive.

I'm no expert, but I would handle it the same way as if I had a floppy and
didn't know what's on it: place it in the appropriate drive, and check it out.

Since you don't know what's on them, I assume none of them have labels.
Insert the CD in your CD player, and see what happens.
If it starts playing music, (in which case it will probably be a pirated copy)
remove it from the drive, and destroy the CD.
If it starts loading a program (in which case it will probably be a pirated
program) stop it from doing so, remove it from the drive, and destroy the CD.
If it does nothing, click on it in Windows Explorer, and check it out.
If it is anything that's pirated, remove it from the drive, and destroy the CD.

As I said, I'm not an expert, but the above seems to make sense to me.
