You must find it in temp files, grasshoppah. Difficult, but doable. No gold star for you.

Shame on me, I haven't assimilated that particular acronym into my already toxic tech life. So I'll have to guess what it is.

I Always Wanted To Cum. Am I close?

I've Amassed Waste That Counts.

Inside A Watermelon There's Cheese.

I'm A Wanker That Cries.

I Always Wanted The C-Word.

Come one, help me out. Any of those?

Forgive me if you were trying to help. I have had a terrible evening, and the chance that you are trying to help in this or any community are slim, so...

Halleluyah. I'm going to BED.

Oh shit! I agree with that comment? *snicker* Is that it?

That's what I've seen it expanded as, yes. Well, that or "I agree with *this* comment". Same difference, really.

To be fair to the luser I did suggest he check docs in his windows temp, local user temp and even at a stretch prefetch,(yer I know a long shot that one) recycle bin, desktop & my docs oh and then to re-open excel incase he closed stupidly and it self recovered, I think I covered tha basics?
****after that I did tell him, nope your buggered

[ohmyhead.livejournal.com]

Ah. Wellllll...you left that part out of your post, didn't you! :D

[catmmo.livejournal.com]

BTW, the correct answer C would be:
C. Nope, you're buggered!

FTL.

Ok, how long have people been using Office, creating docs, saving them, etc.?

I used to go the route of poking here and there for users but anymore, I guess that's your ass!

Sure, I'll still go and open up the OLK directories, while making the user for feeling stupid for not saving correctly, but that's because creating a hidden temp directory is pretty asinine on MicroSoft's part.

But for a user too stupid to even name a new file; screw them!

D. You'll need a goat, a sharp knife, and as many candles as you can gather on short notice. Meet me back here an hour before midnight. No guarantees.

I always thought goats were for hardware problems and chickens were for software problems.

[cthulu-for-pm.livejournal.com]

No one said the knife was for the goat...

[tanetris.livejournal.com]

For standard software problems, a chicken will usually do. For MS products, a goat is recommended.
