How to open HMAP.DIR file?
The main problem with Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 Temporary is that the HMAP.DIR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that HMAP.DIR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HMAP.DIR file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Microsoft SharePoint Server
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft SharePoint Server is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft SharePoint Server into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation.

Programs to open HMAP.DIR file
Remember to download programs supporting HMAP.DIR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft SharePoint Server with HMAP.DIR files
If, despite the installed application, the HMAP.DIR file does not start in the Microsoft SharePoint Server application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HMAP.DIR file with the Microsoft SharePoint Server program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft SharePoint Server to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft SharePoint Server program with the Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 Temporary file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HMAP.DIR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the HMAP.DIR file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HMAP.DIR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected HMAP.DIR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of HMAP.DIR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HMAP.DIR file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HMAP.DIR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the HMAP.DIR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HMAP.DIR file again. However, some background programs may block the HMAP.DIR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
