Help!
I've been editing an essay i had emailed over, and although i kept clicking save whilst working on it, its saved it to the temporary internet file folder which doesnt appear in searches and i cant get to it through my computer. I know its there cos when I've tried to save the original copy again to see where it saved it to i could see it in the file. The exact loaction is:
OS
Users
James
app data
local
microsoft
windows
temporary internet files
content ie
0097T13BR
is there any other way i can get to this or am i fucked? Its on Vista btw

In Vista (can't remember if it's the same on XP) you need to make sure Hide protected operating system files (recommended) is unticked.

Same - changed it to show operating system files which gave me the option of temporary internet files which i didnt have before but then there's no file for content.ie5 = doh!!
Its not a huge amount of work but still annoying!

Can't you reopen it in Word from recent files, then file save as and onto desktop or something?

sounds about right - get into the temporary internet files folder - then enable the "folder pane" / explorer view - it will show you the content.ie5 folder and all subs in the folder list.
Only seems to work in win2k not xp or vista, however typing it in the address bar all the way to content.ie5 does seem to work
