I feel sorry for a co-worker of mine so I want to help him out. He had emailed himself some work he had been doing at the office to himself so he could work on it at home. When he got home he logged in and simply opened it, worked on it for 2 hours (it was Microsoft word by the way) and "saved" it repeatedly. However after turning it off he realized that he had simply hit the save button (the icon of a disk) which as you all know simply saves into the "temp" folder. He has done everything so far to find it, searched his "C" drive and obviously opened the program and tried to see if it recalled the latest document all to no avail. I tried going into his temp folder on the c drive but nothing is there. Can anyone help solve this problem? I feel sorry for him and would like to make his day but helping him find it. Thanks in advance......................

Did he try to open it again as the actual attachement in email?

I will ask him, but even if he did, the 2 hours of work he did on it would not be there, just the original version, or so I assume.....

I don't have Word handy with me right now but Word may actually save temp documents with a different file extension like .temp

Other than that, he may have to do it again. I also lost 2 hours of work using OpenOffice so I know what its like.

you can search by date modified....search for all files modified on the day.
the temp file name may not be what he thinks it is.

If you use windows and Office they generally have a "memory" of the last files you used

On the bottom of the "FILE" tab
