Opened (and not saving) a Powerpoint presentation attached to an online email message. Modified the document and clicked on the Save (not Save As) and now the presentation is nowhere to be found.

How do I find this document? I have run a serious search on the C drive to no avail. It's not even in the Temporary Internet Files.

Computer system

Windows XP Professional version 5.1.2600
Explorer version 6.0.2900
