Email attachment 'default save location'

[Guest]

Hi, I despirately need some help! I opened an excell spreadsheet as an email
attachment and added to to document and kept hitting CNTRL-S to save my
changes, however I only saved to the default location, rather than save it to
my documents folder, like I usually do. I shut down excel, but now I can not
find the document anywhere on my PC! How can I retrieve this document? I
tested by opening another email attachment and hitting CNTRL-S ands it seemed
to save it to: C:/Documents and Settings/User/Local Settings/Temporary
Internet.../Content IE5/8XENWDAB, however I can not browse to this location
to find the test file, or my verrrry important excel spreadsheet. Please help
me!

Well, if you open Excel and click file, it should show you the last 4
spreadsheets and allow you to click to open them. Or, if you know the name
of the .xls file file you could do a search. Or, if you cannot browse to
C:/Documents and Settings/User/Local Settings, you could click Tools/Folder
Options/View and check the entry for Show hidden files and folders.

Thank you so much Doug, I could kiss you!!
I found the document by 'showing hidden files and folders' then browsing to:
C:\Documents and Settings\Sarah\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\8XENWDAB and wellah, there was the file hidden amongst a
whole load of cookies and temp files.

You are a legend!! *muahh*
