My scenario:
I receive an email with an Excel spreadsheet. I work on the sheet for about an hour, and "Save" a couple of times. When I am done working, I close the sheet, and answer "Yes" to the question "Do you want to save changes?" I then go to close the email, and when I am asked if I want to save changes to the email, I say "No."
Where is the spreadsheet saved on my local hard drive? I believe there is an OLK folder, but is that gone after the email is closed?
 
Thanks Dreamboat. If I try to repeat the process, I see the file in C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\.... until I answer "No" to saving changes to the email. After that, I can no longer find it. If I look at the listing of files within Excel, the file is there, listed as my last open file, but if I select it, nothing happens.
 
One way of finding out where the files get saved is to search for for files modified in the last one day using Windows explorer.
Cheers,
Hashim
