Thanks for the hint, but it just brings up the black command screen with the path: C:/users/MY MAME ABREVIATED/appdata/local/temp and instruction to press any key to continue.  But it doesn't go anywhere.

So I typed the path into File explorer, and it came up with a bunch of installation files and the like, and one Word.doc, but not the one I was looking for.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

The command did exactly what you asked for: It shows you the temp folder, which you were previously unable to find. If this folder does not contain your lost Word file then I'm afraid you're out of luck.

Darn! The mystery now is why "show hidden files" came up with a couple "rescued" files from January, but none from today ...  Any ideas?

p.s. I did find some files ending in .tmp, but opening them in notepad or Word gave me just a bunch of code.  Seems to me there used to be a command "show hidden files" that would do this easily....  I found it, but it only showed a couple of rescued files from January!
