Document openned from email, modified then saved is lost

[Guest]

I emailed my son a document for school to his web-based email account (Juno).
He openned the email and openned the document from the attachment icon. He
spent about 10 hours working on it, periodically saving it using "save".
Unfortunately, he didn't save the document to a new location using "save as".
He just clicked "save" and it went to C:\Documents and Settings\Gary\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\K35JE2J5

The final folder had a different name of course, but I don't know what that
was. I searched the entire comupter for .doc files and another search for
*.* files modified yesterday. Nothing that matched his file came up. Once
he closed the file, di windows delete it? If so, will a program like
"undelete" recover it if it hasn't been over-written yet?

Once he closed the file, di windows delete it?

Yes.

If so, will a program like "undelete" recover it if it hasn't
been over-written yet?

Yes, although that's a big "if".
