I am hoping someone can help me. I read other incidents like mine and hope that not all is lost for me.....Basically, I received a work file via an attachement to my email. I brought it up using the program for the document. As I modified the file I hit the save button in this program many times. I exited this program and then exited outlook. I hit no to save the changes to the email thinking that this meant the text to this email since I had already closed down the program the attachement was in and saved it that way, of course now, none of my changes are in the file. I am hoping that somewhere there is a version of this file with my changes since I saved it regularly in the program. I used search and searched my entire computer and found only the unchanged file. I have microsoft xp professional and outlook 2000, if anyone knows how or if I can retreive my 5 plus hours of work please let me know. If the outlook file has the final rule on saving what did all of the saves I performed in the program do? Did they not write to somewhere on my hard drive?
 
It is there somewhere. Windows Explorer does not find
everything I am looking for, but you might try using it to
search the entire computer looking for a word or phrase
unique to the file you used. You can also search by date
looking for all files updated today. Another search engine
to think about would Be AgentRansack. It finds everything!
The file is probably in a temp folder somewhere. If your
computer emptys temp files on reboot, don't shut your
compurer down.
