A great vista feature

Show me the post where I said I like MS!!!

"Can't say I do, actually - mostly because they pay me to fix their mess". So microsoft outlook loses data - then joe public has to pay you help you sort it out?

Sorry about suggesting you hate MS - below the belt really!

Excel attachment on Mac Mail, I openned it edited it saved it, where did it go?

Oh I find the attachment now contains the changes.

Just how cool is that?

Mac - don't you like it when things just... work?

Outlook does the same

Open message
open attachement
edit attachement
save attachement
close email
click yes when it asks you if you want to save the changes to the attachement
reopen email
reopen attachement... oh look, its changed to how I edited it

Of course as a user, thats bad practice as you've now lost the original attachement they sent you

try going to

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK7C in XP - you will have to type this out in an explorer window

for Vista change D and C for Users (i think)

looked in entire hard drive - nothing!

as per the link in post 1, seems to be a common problem.

Sounds like vista is more careful over where and how temporary files are stored.
Which can only be a good thing
The temporary internet directories were never meant for the user to go poking around in anyway.

This is definitely a case of user error or miss use at least.
