Working on a file from a mailbox

[Shicky]

Had a friend ring me with this query and it seemed I was unable to help so thought I might try you boffins.

Basically she opened her uni email (uses microsoft office outlook web access) opened an attachment (word file im guessing) and began working away on it. She repeatedly saved the document and was apparently never prompted for a location (I call bs on this.)

At one point she said there was an error, something with the word temporary in it - again wasn't too sure what this was on.

I had her do a search for the file name of the document she had opened. Also had her check local/appdata/temp and apparently it wasn't there either.

Im fresh out of ideas unless that error was some sort of clearing of temp files which goes on automatically or something. Any help greatly appreciated

CliffyG in terms of what you put in run, just the 0x0 (memory location im guessing?)

Also what can you expect you come up, surely not just a single file as it would be anything in the secure tempfolder?

Ahhh the amount of times people have come to me with this problem throughout my uni life (mainly girls). Despite trying everything I could think of on the net I could rarely find the file and I think when I did it was only because it was opened through an actual client not webmail.

Such a retarded mistake.

Agreed but you have to feel gutted for them also, weird thing is she is relatively computer savy so she'd be one of the last people i'd expect to pull this one out of the bag
