How do I recover a file saved into the OLK9A folder?

[Guest]

When I open an attachment from Outlook and then try to save (not save as) it,
it goes to a folder called OLK9A, which is embedded under the Temporary
Internet Files folder. If I forget to change the folder it stays there. But
i cannot figure out how to get back to that file.

I know you can say save the attachment again, but sometimes I have made
changes and need to get that version back from this folder.

Any clues?

Search for this folder using Windows Search and adding hidden folders option to the search.

If you decide to make changes to a document you might want to teach yourself
to open it from the Reading Pane, which will open it in Read Only mode, or
even better; save it first and then make the modifications.
