Can I retrieve a document that disappeared? It was an attachment on an e-mail
that I added to. I did save it but obviously it did not save. I did a search
and nothing came up.
 
If it's anywhere, it'll be in a sub-folder of C:\Documents and
Settings\Local Settings\[User name]\Temporary Internet Files\ -- on my
machine the subfolder is called OLK11 but that might be a variable. This is
where attachments are saved temporarily when you open them (Word needs
somewhere to put its work file) -- normally the work file is deleted when
you close the document, but not always if you explicitly saved it.

Open any other email you've received that has a Word attachment, open the
attachment, and go to save it: check where Word wants to put it.
