[CarGirl]

I opened a word document from an email, amended it, kept saving it & now I can't find it and can't were the temp files are to look for it please help me

bump

it's under local settings, where are my local settings?

If you are on Windows XP, try the "search" facility - click the green start bar (bottom left) to bring it up as an option.

Or try C:, then Documents & Settings and see if there is a "Temp" folder.

Do a search for "*.doc" in All folders, with System folder searching turned on, with a date of ammended in the last 24 hours.
If that doessn't find it then your email client has broken it!

Thank you I will attempt to find the temp folder over the weekend so I never get stuck again! I ended up retyping the letter last night because it was quicker!

I had searched in the hidden folders etc so not sure what I was doing wrong.
