You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .tsv. Files with the file extension .tsv can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .tsv files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .tsv file?
The TSV file format stands for "Tab Separated Values", and these tab separated values files are created and used by many spreadsheet applications. The content of a tab separated values file may include text, mathematical, scientific or statistical data separated into rows and columns. Tabs separate these pieces of data into columns, hence the file format name "Tab Separated Values". These tab separated values files are similar to CSV files, though the column data stored in these CSV spreadsheet documents are separated by commas instead of tabs, while the row data of these CSV files are separated by lines of spaces. The content of a tab separated values file is integrated with spreadsheet and text encoding specifications used for saving these files in the TSV format. Afixed with the .tsv extension, the content of these TSV files can be exported into many spreadsheet file formats like CSV and XLS using spreadsheet programs implemented with support for opening, editing and exporting these TSV files. A lot of word processing applications and text editing progams can also be used to open and view the content of these TSV files.
how to open a .tsv file?
Launch a .tsv file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .tsv file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .tsv files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .tsv file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .tsv file will open the correct application.

Microsoft Notepad
Notepad is a basic text editor used to create plain documents. It is commonly used to view or edit text (.txt) files, and a simple tool for creating Web pages, and supports only the basic formatting in HTML documents. It also has a simple built-in logging function. Each time a file that initializes with .log is opened, the program inserts a text timestamp on the last line of the file. It accepts text from the Windows clipboard. This is helpful in stripping embedded font type and style codes from formatted text, such as when copying text from a Web page and pasting into an email message or other “What You See Is What You Get†text editor. The formatted text is temporarily pasted into Notepad, and then immediately copied again in stripped format to be pasted into the other program. Simple text editors like Notepad may be utilized to change text with markup, such as HTML. Early versions of Notepad offered only the most basic functions, such as finding text. Newer versions of Windows include an updated version of Notepad with a search and replace function (Ctrl + H), as well as Ctrl + F for search and similar keyboard shortcuts. It makes use of a built-in window class named edit. In older versions such as Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me and Windows 3.1, there is a 64k limit on the size of the file being edited, an operating system limit of the EDIT class.

what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .tsv. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
