recovering the tmp file

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Okay VB6 just crapped out on me and my work hadn't been saved for awhile(
don't taunt me or I'll slit my wrists. just kidding). Is there a way to
recover some of the work from the tmp file. What kind of file is that? Is
there a way to open it. Any and all answers will be greatly appreciated. TIA
