How to Recover unsaved word documents

How many times you accidently hit the close button without saving your important word documents??? That's disaster,right?


But don't you know that microsoft word does a backup of your docs every 10 minutes ( unless you change this options)


So,here is the solution:


Word 03: You can head to C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Microsoft\Word or C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temp then change "Arrange icons by" to "Modified" and open the lastest files,you will get what you (think you have) lost. (you will need to change folder options to show hidden files and folders first)


In Word 07: It's easier if you are using word 07 because it will automatic recover your doc once you open it again.


Make sure that you will never face this situation again
