where are PowerPoint 2000 autorecovery files kept? I have the feature enabled
every 10 minutes but can't find anything in any of the numerous temp folders
windows has created.
 
I sense that you are looking for a series of files (ex: file001.tmp,
file002.tmp, etc.). It is not that easy.

If you have information that was lost (accidentally saved after deleting all
the slides), then you are correct to look to the TMP files. Find ones that
are about the same size and save a copy as a PPT file, then try to open
them. You may get lucky, but the chances are, frankly, slim.

I will recommend that you look at something that may prevent this in the
future. It is one of the tools I consider required for any serious
presentation builder.

Dave,

First point of call is
c:\windows\temp

2nd point of call is

c:\documents and settings\TheCurrentUserName\Local Settings\Temp

3rd point of call is all the other usernames (e.g.all users / default user/ local server/ network service)

If you find them, please report back where you found yours.

Cheers
