How to View Tmp Files

TMP files are Internet temporary files. These are stored in a special folder by a Web browser. TMP files are created when you visit a website for the first time. They are there to speed up the time it takes for the website to load when you make subsequent visits. By saving a TMP file of a website, the Web browser can simply fetch parts of it from the hard drive instead of the Internet.
