I opened a PowerPoint attachment from an email. I
started working on the PowerPoint Presentation without
renaming the file.

I forgot what happened during the saving process but I
find the PowerPoint presentation without the work I had
done.

Is there a way to retreive the file with the new
workings? There is a message when I try to open the
file...something like Can not find C:document and
settings/justin/ local settings/ temporary internet
files/ olk/
 
if it's not in C:/document and settings/justin/ local settings/ temporary
internet files/ olk/ or was saved to the attachment, it's gone.

Click to expand...

Open a command line window and enter the following:

cd %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
dir /a

You should see a folder whose nmae starts with OLK; something like OLK41A.
Note that name.

Now click Start>Run and enter %USERPROFILE\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\OLKXXX in the "Open" line (where OLKXXX is, of course, the name you
noted in the previous step). Click OK. You should get an Explorer window
that contains, perhaps among other things, the spreadsheet you saved.
Drag-and-drop it to another folder. My Documents would be a good choice.
 
The OLK folders may be hidden in Windows Explorer. Show the folder in
Windows on the View tab of View/Folder Options.
 
No, you can't browse to it. You'll need to type the path in the Address Bar.
If you don't know the exact folder name you can look for the registry key
called OutlookSecureTempFolder
