Hi i just closed a project i was working on all morning and did not save the changes and had not saved document at all is there anyway to recover this file?

What were you working on the project in? Its possible there might still be a scratch file around there somewhere.

Other than that, take the lesson well. Save often.

if its word I really don't think there is anyway to get your project back. for future reference, the shortcut to save in word is "ctrl-s". i used to have a problem forgetting to save my project reports because I never had my hand on the mouse to click on the save icon. I just use the keyboard shortcut every paragraph to save now.

if its a word file word autosaves every 10 or 25 minutes for this reason...

do a search on my computer for all documents modified since yesterday, enable hidden files as wwell...

there will be a hidden temp file somewhere

Ya if you were working on it for a good while there is an auto-save of your file somewhere in your computer. I can't remember the general location but as recommended do a search for it.

Do a search for files with a .asd extension. However I believe Microsoft Word delete these upon quitting so it may too late. You're only other hope is to get a 3rd party undelete tool and see if you can recover any of these .asd files. You will have to be quick though before the space is used by other files.

Auto recovery on word will get it
