What happened to the OLK temp folder for saved attachments?

I opened an Excel attachment from Outlook, worked in it, and then saved. I
wasn't asked for a location, but when I went to look for it, it was not
saved. In the past, saving would update the attachment in the original
message, and save to an OLK folder.
Where do these files go now?? I lost several hours of work!

Be carefull. When you open an attachment from mail without detaching it, and
you save it ,take care to check WHERE it goes... Outlook saves it in a damn
good hidden folder in c:\documents and settings\USERNAME\Local
settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\xxxxxxx (with xxxxxxx being
some random characters)
Best way to find it back is to open the attachment from that mail again, use
"SAVE AS..." and check on what folder it points in the "SAVE IN" area
You should also be able to see the file in the browsing areaof the "save as"
window.
You can right-click the document, choose copy, close the "save as" window
without saving and then paste the document where ever you need.
