Lost document and cookies
Hi I've got an interesting problem. I opened (but did not download) a
document from my e-mail which I then made some changes and saved repeatedly using crtl-S. However for some reason my computer did not even read it as existing. I accidentally exited out of the program when I was trying to do a "save as". It didn't even ask if I was sure I wanted to exit. I decided to look around and found that in my cookies, there was a file that said: / When I clicked on it to open it, it would only take me to Notepad and there was this: _DetectCookiesYoffice.microsoft.com/1024374619097630616169269990494429881311* Not quite sure what that means. I think it's my document, but I was wondering if there was a way to retrieve my document somewhere. Thanks! |

Lost document and cookies
There are instructions for what to do if you saved an attached document but
never changed the directory. There are no guarantees you will find it. It is in a hidden folder under the temporary internet files. Usually C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp (or a subfolder of that folder) You can find the document and folder by opening the original attachment directly from the e-mail and then select File, Save as... It will automatically go to the folder where the other file is saved. Start right-clicking on files inside that dialog box and select Open. You may have to look at a couple of files before you find the right one. Once you do - save it in an easier to find directory. Like I said though, no guarantees. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "acyan87" wrote in message ...
