How annoying! When this happens to me I often just use File Explorer and click on the date modified column to sort in order of newest first. That way you can often see a folder that has been used last and home in on the file. I presume it’s not in the “recent documents” when you open Word, Excel or whatever you are using?Yesterday the wretched thing lost a document I had been working on all week and it is nowhere to be found. Grr!
Ah well - these things happen. I tried file/date modified as my first line of attack when it wasn't sitting in recent word docs. Using "search" - well you could almost hear the gremlins giggling. Fortunately I had saved the references elsewhere so it was quite a quick re-write. All done and dusted before friends turned up after lunch to try out the new metal detectors. Rick is an experienced detectorist - me the newbie klutz. Found the underground electric cable, a 1970's coke bottle top, some crumpled aluminium, and a washer. So the machines work but maybe I need to pick a more promising site than the front paddock!How annoying!
