Files with .TEMP extension are temporary files. Common temporary files include auto-saved documents, session control lock files, cache files, and backup files. Some temporary files can be opened by the program that generated them, while others are not meant to be opened. Most temporary files use the .TMP extension.
The TEMP file extension is used on Mac OS and Windows operating systems. Swish-E is a common application for handling TEMP files. Various other programs are also compatible with TEMP files. TEMP files fall under the Misc Files category. Over 6,000 different file types use the TEMP extension.
To open a TEMP file, first try double-clicking on it and letting your computer select the default program. If that does not work, download and install a program like Swish-E or Various that supports the TEMP extension. Then associate TEMP files with that program. Updating the program to the latest version may help open TEMP files.
