I downloaded this file from an email attachment, clicked "open" instead of
"save as"….edited the document in MS WORD, clicked the save icon, and
closed it. Now my document is nowhere to be found, locked away in some crazy
Temp Folder.
A friend advised me to type in the file path for the Content.IE5 folder, as
he said this folder wouldn’t show up even if you searched and selected "Show
hidden files and folders". I did this, it opened the folder, which held a
few other folders, all with very few files in them– though i definitely did
not locate the file I was searching for.
This prompted me to investigate the properties of the main Content.IE5
folder, which said it contained 5,000 files and 19 folders. I cannot imagine
why this would be, why there would be so many folders full of unneccesary
images and files, and I as the computer owner cannot get to them easily. I
am desperate….Windows support won’t help me unless I pay them $60.
I tried downloading an attachment again, and viewing the document properties
to locate the filepath — then typing in the filepath. This helped me to
find about four of the 19 super hidden folders, but my file was not in any of
them. PLEASE HELP ME
