Default Excel File Disappeared!!??



Tried to search by some specific text that I know is actually there,
but I can't quite figure out exactly how to do it.

(Didn't work on a "control" file that I know exists, with some unique
text.)

Suggestions?

I would search for files created yesterday (an option in windows search) or,
if you have time, something unique inside the file and search by that. I
would make sure you include hidden files in the search in case you have
changed an attribute by accident. Equally I would not add an extension, e.g
*.xls as this may also have gone. Equally, if during a 'modified yesterday'
search you find a strange file with a random name where you expected that
file to be, try adding .xls to the end and see if it's there.
