Here is what happened (just so you know, the user now realizes this was a
stupid operating procedure):
1. An email (Outlook 2003) was received containing a Word attachment.
2. To 'save time', the user regularly opens Word files straight from the
email and makes edits directly to the attachment. In other words, the user
never saves the attached file somewhere.
3. Last night, the user finished the edits, left the email window open and
moved on to other things.
4. Later, the user shutdown the system (forgetting the email and attachment
were still open). Outlook asked if a draft should be saved before shutting
down. For an inexplicable reason, the user said 'no'.
Leading to the questions:
A. Where are temporary files kept by Outlook?
B. Can I expect to recover a temporary file for an edited attachment?
Thanks in advance
