If you can recall part of its name you could use the Windows Search
application (Start | Search)
If you cannot recall then use *.XLS and then refine it by the date you did
the cut-&-paste.

After modifying a big file, I use the Open file menu to cut and paste the
file to a different folder. However, now I can't find it anywhere. Is it
a
way I can retrieve this file?
