I opened a folder from an e-mail, made changes to the word document, and thinking that I had saved on my hard drive, I closed it. Now I can not find the file with the changes. Is there anyway I can retrieve the file with the changes that I made for her?

recovering files

Follow these steps to find the file;

Go to folder options in Windows Explorer > organize, click the view tab and select "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck the box on "Hide protected operating system files".

Copy and paste the following text in the address bar of windows Explorer. Don't forget to replace "XXX" with your own username (or one that has been used by modifying the file), C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

Now you're going to see some folders, the file you are looking for must be in one of these folders.
