Gary........having read this explanation....and not being a puter person of
much knowledge.......is this similar to my problem ? I'am getting kicked
out of Internet Explorer6 quite often ( have downloaded again / updates with
no help) I have Windows 2000 Professional on an older HP Pavilion. I'm on
cable ( comcast) . Its been working great ,,,then all of a sudden I start
getting a "Microsoft Internet Explorer has encoundtered a problem and must
shut down." it asks if I want to report it ,,,I click on yes.....then it
gives me a window that reporting has finished and if I'd like more
infomation..click here.
when I do so I get another window or "program not found" "windows cannot
find blank.exe / this program is needed for opening files of type 'URL:Hyper
Text Transfer Protocol.'
Could of this file been deleted accidently ? as I constantly defrag runs
scans etc to keep puter clean and running as fast as it can as stated its on
old one.
Is there somewhere to retrieve or download it as a replacement I guess you'd
say......as it is annoying being kicked out of explorer constantly,,,,,not
everytime,,,but in last 2 weeks or so more and more it seems.
Anyone plus yourself who might be able to help............Please do :- )..
annoyed in Jersey Thank You !

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?
