I lost a .doc I saved in Windows mail

Oh I didn't know that. I haven't released Office 07 to my end users due to a lack of backward compatibility. I thought Microsoft had learned this lesson once or twice before but I guess not.

Okay, I found some of my missing documents

With ZERO heop from Microsoft support who told me I couldn't check the properties of an open Word document. I found a few of missing docs. I am still looking for a few more. Theer were at...

Users\user name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\NX------

C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\3V------

I want to be able to access all of the sub-directories that follow IE5. Is there a way to do so?

 

I wish that were the case. All my problems would be solved.

Alas, it says the folder is empty. I can only pull up any folders in that subdirectory by naming them specfically...

 

Hello D Budnick,

Try Karen's Directory Printer, it will list sub folders/files in a Directory:

I FOUND MY MISSING DOCUMENTS!!

Thanks Arie. I couldn't quite see them right away as you suggested but I poked around a bit more and found the advice below which I implemented and then the folders were indeed visible.

- Launch Windows Explorer.
- Go to Tools > Folder Options > View

Select "Show hidden files and folders"
Deselect "Hide extensions for known file types"
Deselect "Hide protected operating system files"



Thank you everyone here for your help and suggestions.

Much better than Microsoft Support which told me 3 things that were 100% wrong...
(1) They aren't in your temp internet files folder
(2) You can't check properties from an open document
(3) I am sorry, sir, I looked into your problem and the files do not exist. WRONG AGAIN, I JUST FOUND THEM AND SAVED THEM TO THE PROPER DIRECTORY.

Anyhow, thanks to all. If someone else has a similar problem down the road maybe this thread will help...
