: : I just spent 2 hours typing notes for my Series 6 Securities exam (BORING), and now I can't access them. My Word pull-down menu shows it as one of the files recently used, but when I click on it, I get an error that says Word can't access it. The short-cut name is C:\Windows\...\PUCUS5UV\S6 Cards, but I can't find it anywhere in Microsoft Explorer. I started the file at work and e-mailed it to myself. When I clicked on the attachment, it opened right up, but I forgot to change the folder when I saved it, and now it's like the folder doesn't even exist.
: : I know repetition is the way to learn, but I REALLY don't want to have to type all that again!
: did you do a search on the hard drive?
I searched on Microsoft Explorer for all files in my C drive, which is the main computer, just in case it wasn't in the Temp files like I thought. There's about a hundred files with S6 in them, but I only found one that looked like it might be it. Problem is, I saved that file to Word before finding out it was a CAB file. Now I'm afraid to shut down my PC, in case I've screwed something else up. I'm gonna buy some discs and save all my files before I shut down. I have the set-up discs, in case I have to reload everything.
