Default Finding a temp file

I have been making changes to a worksheet and saving them in my docs.
however, the last version I made was saved to the olk151 folder. I now,
cannot find that version of the worksheet. The dialog box comes up with the
path C/docs and settings/name/Local Settings/temporary Internet files/OLK151.
I did a search and can only find a 2kb file. I would really like to be
able to find this file.

Will anyone assist me?

Thanks,

Kevin

Default Finding a temp file

The OLK file is a temporary file which was created when you opended the file
as an attached file in an e-mail. These files get usually destroyed when you
close the e-mail. When you modify a file as a Outlook attachmentt you need
to save the file under a real file name.

Maybe...

Open Internet Explorer
Tools|Internet options|General Tab
Click the Settings Button in the Browsing history section
Click View Files

You can sort by name or date (or anything else that would help).

If you find it, copy it to a new (safe!) location.
