Default File Disappeared

Hi,

I had a file on my desktop named as Expenses.docx - When I left office on
saturday evening, the file was there but today when I came to office and
started my PC, that file wasn't there. I tried the system restore, it showed
the previous data but that particular file wasn't there. I have tried another
recovery software which shows a shortcut to that file but the original file
isn't availabe. How has it disappeared?

I checked the recent history on Word, I clicked on open file but it said
c:...desktop...Expenses.docx not found

How can I recover that file?

Please Help!

Have you tried searching for the file in Windows, in case it was just moved
to a different location?

I have tried that a lot of times but it is just not there. When I restore my
system to 12th of May 2007 and when I open Office Word, in the left vertical
panel, it shows the same file but when I click, it says, Not Found

Note that, if you are on a network, you may not be allowed to save to
the desktop; the file may have been deleted during login.

If it is a multi-user PC, there should be a desktop folder for each user
under C:\Documents and Settings. You will not be able to access that folder
unless you log in as that user or you have sufficient access rights. If this
is not the case then the file is presumably lost. The desktop is not the
best place to save files. Use your documents folder or a sub folder from it
to save your work.
