Since you created it in Notepad, that's what I'd use to try to open it (and
it's what I generally use to open any .tmp file until I can figure out what
it really is - if ever). No, I have no idea what it would be named - but
it's likely to be something similar to the name of the original file. Then
again, it could be a random string of numbers. I guess the issue boils down
to how much effort you want to spend searching for this lost file, which may
or may not exist, rather than just editing the original again.
Best wishes
