recover/find a file
okay here is my sad sad story. i e-mailed myself my essay and when i was
opening it, i was asked if i wanted to open or save. i clicked open. then i finished my whole paper, and clicked the X button. then microsoft word asked me if i wanted to save or cancel and automatically, without thinking, i just clicked the save button. so somewhere in my computer...my essay has got to be saved, right? i think i tried every search phrase and searched every folder in my whole computer and i can not find it. when i went back to yahoo (my email) and opened the file again, it said it was going to be saved in the "temporary folder" but i cant find this folder either! can someone PLEASE help me and tell me what to do? is it possible to find the paper that i thought was being saved??? |

Well, you don't say specifically what you've done so it's difficult to offer
suggestions. In ToolsFolder Options have you check marked "show hidden files and folders" and unchecked "hide protected system operating files"? Have you search for the file extension "doc"? Have you searched in C:\Windows\Temp? C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents? C:\Users\Eva\Documents?

recover/find a file
Hello,
You may want to post in a Microsoft Word newsgroup and ask them where the default location that Word saves files as well as the default location where it autorecover files to. There should an Word Options menu item somewhere in Microsoft Word ( versions of Microsoft Word may locate the Work Options at different locations) that lists the default save option locations. For example in latest version of Word. Autorecover is to this location C:\Users\Darrellg\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\ Default file location is C:\Users\Darrellg\Documents\ Thanks, Darrell Gorter[MSFT] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights -------------------- | Thread-Topic: recover/find a file | thread-index: Ach5uaQQCN2q7LaQR42h0McsmYN2hw== | X-WBNR-Posting-Host: 24.208.233.157 | From: =?Utf-8?B?RXZh?= | Subject: recover/find a file | Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2008 19:26:00 -0800 | Lines: 11 | Message-ID: | MIME-Version: 1.0 | Content-Type: text/plain; | charset="Utf-8" | Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit | X-Newsreader: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000 | Content-Class: urn:content-classes:message | Importance: normal | Priority: normal | X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.3790.2992 | Newsgroups: microsoft.public.windows.vista.file_management | Path: TK2MSFTNGHUB02.phx.gbl | Xref: TK2MSFTNGHUB02.phx.gbl microsoft.public.windows.vista.file_management:100 34 | NNTP-Posting-Host: tk2msftibfm01.phx.gbl 10.40.244.149 | X-Tomcat-NG: microsoft.public.windows.vista.file_management | | okay here is my sad sad story. i e-mailed myself my essay and when i was | opening it, i was asked if i wanted to open or save. i clicked open. then i | finished my whole paper, and clicked the X button. then microsoft word asked | me if i wanted to save or cancel and automatically, without thinking, i just | clicked the save button. so somewhere in my computer...my essay has got to be | saved, right? i think i tried every search phrase and searched every folder | in my whole computer and i can not find it. when i went back to yahoo (my | email) and opened the file again, it said it was going to be saved in the | "temporary folder" but i cant find this folder either! can someone PLEASE | help me and tell me what to do? is it possible to find the paper that i | thought was being saved??? | |

Maybe the file can be found by opening a new Word doc and clicking FileSave
which would reveal the default location. ""Darrell Gorter[MSFT]"" wrote in message ...
