| | File Saved to Destkop Lost - Any ideas? This has happened 4 times with Vista: A word on the Desktop is opened, modified, saved and closed. Then, the word file is opened but it is showing an earlier version of the file. Any ideas on how to recover the word file and how to avoid this from happening? |

| | Re: File Saved to Destkop Lost - Any ideas? Ronnie - to be more specific, the actual file (not the word application) was saved on the desktop and the file was opened by clicking on it right on the desktop. Thank you.

If this isn't possible, is this a domain computer and possibly set to not allow changes on the Desktop (WAG here). See what happens if you Save As to your Documents instead of to the Desktop and then make a shortcut to the file on your Desktop. These are just speculations because I've not ever seen this sort of thing happen all by itself. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic! |
