The Joel on Software Discussion Group (CLOSED)

I opened up an attachment, an rtf file, without saving it first, edited it and then clicked File->Save instead of File->Save As. Then, I closed it.

How do I get the edited file back?

In Office 2003 I could go to %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\SOME_RANDOMLY_NAMED_FOLDER\all_versions_of_my_file_named_with_a_version_in_paranthesis(x).rtf

try "recently opened files" in word menu

Edit the attachment from scratch again.  Just make one trivial change.  Select the menu entry for "save as".  Don't click OK, don't save it, but look to see what directory it defaults to saving into.  That's where you hope to find your previous saved file.

In Outlook 2003 it was saved in a temporary folder called OLK25.
