I am missing my file

Asked By jeffrey montes 10 points N/A Posted on - 05/09/2012

I’ve outlook 2007 and winxp pro. I received an email with excel workbook. I added data to workbook all day long. Then I closed the email but the workbook was opened, and I saved it repeatedly and then closed the workbook. I thought it would be in ‘my documents’ folder but it wasn’t there. There is no trace of the file, no OLK folder, and no sign of file in local settings/temporary internet files. I’ve the entry "OutlookSecureTempFolder" under the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice12.0OutlookSecurity.

I can't find the cached version of the file anywhere; I have made hidden files/folders enabled. I also have auto save enabled. What’s the problem? Won’t I get that file? Please, help me if anyone knows about it.

I am missing my file

 

It seems that your workbook was directly opened from a remote computer or that you had opened and then when you did close your account, it tried to save on your network gmail account but not possibly done. Before any response, you closed it. In order to save it to your machine you need to save it into your disk by clicking file àSave As. A Dialog appears and then you choose the file name and path for it to save it in your computer. All above are assumptions. the Least you may do is check the email attachment again. One possibility, Search the entire machine for hidden and system files, with *.xlsx | *.xls extension then sort by date. You may get it.

Thanks.
