Thank you for your help. I was actually trying to figure out whether I
needed these files in my Temporary folder or if they were just taking up
space and checking their properties didn't really help.

Not all files have "file associations", executables that automatically
launch when you try to open the file. LOG and TMP files normally have no
file associations. Instead, for LOG files, use NOTEPAD.EXE to read them. You
can try that for the TMP files, too, but you may not be able to read them as
they may not be in plain text.

I can understand why you might want to read a LOG file, but why do you want
to read TMP files?

When I try to open a TMP OR LOG file, I get a message telling me that
Windows
cannot open the file because of missing blank.exe. What does this mean?
