How to get info off a disk?

[Kitch]

I have a cover disk "Amiga Shopper Issue 21, January 1993, volume one". When I click on the cover disk icon and open the window it appears to be empty. I assume this is because the information has been compressed. I would like to be able to open "SysInfo 3.17" on this disk but I don't have the magazine to tell me what to do next, so I'm a bit stuck.
Any advice how to get the info of this disk would be appreciated. Also I'm kind of new to this so simple instructions are good.
Thanks, Andrew

Show all files did reveal icons but clicking on them didn't run the programs. A box would appear at the top of the screen that seemed to need something entered in it.
