Hopefully you have more than just one file..usually theres a set    .shp, .dbf and possible others as well
 
The process is very easy...  
in Mapinfo
 
go File>open .. 
 
Look to the bottom of that window and find the "file type" drop down menu is will have Mapinfo (*.tab) displayed by default
 
Drop the list down to see    esri (*.shp) 
 
then follow you nose to where  the files stored and so one...
