Default Recover a lost text document

First, I'm using a laptop with windows vista. I was writing a text document but didn't save it. I then set my laptop to hibernate and when I turned it back on the file was gone. Any way to recover it?

*update* Hah nevermind I found the text document stored in another folder, whew. But just for the knowledge, is there a solution to this problem?

Sorry as far as I know notepad does not create a temp file. Hopefully someone else will know something I do not.

Default Re: Recover a lost text document

Notepad would create a temp file when it goes into Hibernation. But recovering files from hibernation is tricky.

You might be lucky to find a tmp file with the name since you have a workspace on your desktop that was in use. But again tricky.

Notepad isnt the best when it comes to auto saving or creating temp files.

If you are in dire need of that information i would suggest a look into notepad++ which has those options.
