need help finding an "olka" temporary file

Guest

I was working on an Excel spreadsheet which was attached to an email message.
I saved the document and exited, but now I can't find the saved changes that
I made. On my computer at home, I notice that -- unless I purposefully save
the amended attachment in a specific location -- the amended attachment is
saved in a file called "olka" within "Temporary Internet Files". However, on
my new XP platform, I can't seem to find any such file called "olka".

Does anyone know where XP might have saved the attachment which I amended?

Any guidance is MUCH appreciated!

Have a search in "Documents & Settings" for Exel spreadsheet files
ie put *.xls into Start > Search > All files and folders ...

"olka" is a temporary system folder and is not usable for your own
purposes. IF you want to EDIT and SAVE and e-mail atachment you must do
a Save As in a valid location. The "edits" you made do not exist and the
temporary file was deleted.
