Saved file in wrong place

Question

Hello, I have accidentally saved a file at the following address on my PC:: C:\Users\Caroline\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low\Content.IE5\9PUVXB6H\Marknadsundersökning%20frågor_ver%208%20_Carro%20test[1].pptx. 

But I can't find it ?? I opened the file via a collaboration site (it is a power-point 2010 file) on the web and forgot that I should have downloaded the file before I started to edit it (I edited and then saved the file). So can you please help me with how to get my file ??

Best Regards Caroline Runsten

Answer 1

You could always search for the file using the Windows search function. Just search for all files with the extension *.pptx and if it is on your system it should come up.

Answer 2

I installed Agent Ransack and it found my file !! :-)  So this solution solved my problem, big thanks !!

Answer 3

Hi,

This function does not show results in hidden or temporary containers/files. Så this solution did'nt do it for me.

Answer 4

Since you opened the file from a collaboration site, it's possible that it's saved under a temporary name on your PC.   As Japanzaman has suggested, a search for all *.PPTX files might turn it up; look for files saved/created at about the same time as you last saved this file, regardless of the file name it's saved under.

I find the Windows 7 search feature to be worthless for this kind of thing.

There's a great little program called Agent Ransack.  It's free, it's fast and it actually FINDS stuff for you.  You might want to google for it and try it out.
