I was working on an excel document, saving it in the beginning and then not saving it for over a day. My computer then automatically rebooted to get Microsoft Updates. When I got back and opened the file, it was the old version and it did not inform me of any previous AutoRecover versions.
In fact, now that I think about it, I don't recall excel on this computer ever showing me auto-recovered versions as it normally does on my other computers. So maybe there is a setting somewhere, or maybe this has to do with Excel 2007. In any case, when I went into Excel Options and clicked on Save - I do have the checkbox checked to save autorecover information every 10 minutes. And yet, when I looked at the autorecover file location (C:\Documents and Settings\aturetsky\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\) there is nothing there except for an empty folder called XLSTART.
What is up with that?
