Improperly Saved Changes on an Attachment

[Pete]

Is there any way to retrieve changes made to an attachment that were manually
saved, but not "saved as" and placed in a folder on my computer? I use
Vista's Windows Mail to recieve my mail.

The file is probably located in a folder somewhere in
C:\Users\(youraccount)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet
Files\

"\AppData" is normally hidden
"\Temporary Internet Files" is normally a hidden protected Operating System
file

You'll have to remove the checkmark (if they're hidden) in Windows Explorer:
Organize - Folder & Search Options - View

Ok, well I got this far

C:\Users\pete\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows

then I could not find the Temporary Internet Files folder. I even went in
and unchecked the hide option that it reccommends to not do.

Help.

Not a chance, you will not do the same thing again!

If you wish to edit an attached document you MUST save it to disc first.

You are not the first to fall foul of this, you will not be the last.
