This one is driving us nuts.
I opened a Power Point file that arrived as an attachment on an email. Did some work on it and then saved using the save button (Power Point 2007) The file has now disappeared and I can't find it anywhere. I've done a search (full, including hidden and non-indexed) for both *.ppt and [filename]*.* and come up blank.
From googling it seems that PP saves files opened this way in a temporary directory if you don't "save as" and tell it where you want it to go. The problem is that I've searched through my temporary files in Internet Explorer's options and come up blank - nothing but a couple of jpegs
Interestingly, when I look at the Temp files in IE, the directory it says they are in cannot be reached through desktop explorer:
In IE Temporary Internet Files are stored in:
C:\Users\Caveman\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
But when I go through My Computer I can get as far as C:\...Windows\ but there is no Temporary Internet Files folder - even though I can see it in IE's 'Temporary Internet Files and History Settings?'
