Excel will corrupt the file, trash the disk, and melt your

Thanks Dave, I found them;
(I was looking in the wrong "Temp" folder <blush).

A colleague is having problems reading a disk and mentioned that he
was saving Excel files directly to it.
I knew (from hard experience-a long time ago) that Word will corrupt
a disk in these circumstances but wasn't sure if Excel would do the
same.
