Annoying tmp file?

I have this annoying tmp that keeps "opening as" in Adobe Reader and says 'Could not open 'Off80A5.tmp' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correct decoded). I would like to permanently remove this annoying message as it opens ever time I start my PC! Errr. I have looked for this tmp file in both the Temp under the C drive and in the Temp file located in the Windows folder and have found nothing. I even went so far as to remove Adobe Reader 5.0 and reload it. But this annoying message keeps popping up! I can't remember how long this has been going on, I just know that I am really tired of it.

Please help!!!

Sincerley,

P.S. This is the second time I requested help with this problem as I think the first one got lost somewhere on the net.

You may wish to check you startup directory, This annoying tmp file may be loading from there everytime you startup the computer, if not you could also perform a search using the filename and what drive to look in.
