.tmp files

[Guest]

I changed the "open with" option for my .tmp files to notepad. What is the
correct association and how do I change it back? System restore is not
available to correct this problem. Thank you.

Try this.

Search your hard drive for any TMP file.

Right-click and select OPEN.

The dialog will explain why "Windows cannot open this file."

Any questions, then post back.

..TMP is not associated with any application, by default. To undo the
association settings for .TMP file, try this:

Type CONTROL FOLDERS in Start/Run:
Click the File Types dialog
Select TMP (TMP File) from the list
Click the Delete button.
