.tmp files are used by your web browser to store information relevant to downloads. There is no way to open them, nor is there any reason why you would want to.
To open .tmp video files, you can first try renaming the file extension to a more common video format, such as .mp4 or .avi, and then attempt to play it with a media player like VLC or Windows Media Player. If that doesn't work, you can use a file recovery tool or video repair software, as .tmp files are often temporary files created by video editing software. Additionally, check if the original program that created the .tmp file can recover or convert it into a usable format.
TMP or temp files are temporary Windows files used to store temporary data or be used as a backup for files that are being used.
The .tmp extension is a TEMPORARY file.Often these files are created during the installation process or during cleanup procedures.Sometimes by changing the extension you can open them in some program or other.If they are old they can safely be removed.
I had this virus in my computer, I have tried several antiviruses and anti Adware programs, they found iehndl.dll and they was able to delete it. BUT after a while, this dll was at the same place C:\Windows. I have mentioned that there are big number of tmp files in c:\Windows and when I was deleting these files, one of them was locked. So, i booted to the SAFE MODE with MSDOS (I have got MSWin XPPro) and manually deleted all tmp files by: cd \windows dir *.tmp (only for checking num of files) del *.tmp dir *.tmp(only for checking num of files) Of course, I did a lot of cleaning by antiviruses and I manually deleted a lot of objects, but only after deleting this tmp files this virus stopped bothering me ( because antivirus software showed a window to ask me what to do with dll every time I was typing anything). So, good luck, because after two days it was there again, but after deleting tmp it was ok (for a while :-).
cp * /tmp
The sticky bit will prevent a user from deleting other user's files in a world writeable directory (such as /tmp). Otherwise, any user could delete any other user's files.
Most temporary files will be stashed in /tmp. Though /var is often used for some temporary data as well.
TMP and TEMP files are temporary and can be safely deleted. They are usually dumped on the hard drive and forgotten about by some programs if they crashed and were meant to delete them.
To retrieve unsaved WordPerfect documents, first check the temporary file directory where WordPerfect may save backups. Look for files with a .wpd or .tmp extension in the default directory, which is often located in the C:\Users[Your Username]\AppData\Local\Temp folder. Additionally, you can try using the "File" menu and selecting "Open" to see if there are any autosave or recovery files available. If none of these methods work, consider using file recovery software as a last resort.
It is saved permanently unless it is downloaded into a /tmp or /temp directory, which the Operating System has the right to "clean up" occasionally and delete unneeded files when doing so. Usually, these downloaded files are used to run updates or new software, so keeping them is not important. However, if you download a document, music or other kind of file, it is best for you to open it and save it in the appropriate place so you can find it later.

Most of the time, yes but i strongly recommend that you use a PC cleaning program to delete teporary files. you can find tons of free cleaning programs online. I use ccleaner, but any program that can delete tempoirary files is good.
