trying to recover notepad document

by swingerofbirches - 8/13/06 9:50 AM

I was working on an important file in notepad. Somehow, I think I slept on my keyboard, I must have highlighted all the text, deleted it, and saved the document again.

The file is there, with the same name, but it has been saved over with the text deleted.

Is there a cache or temporary or prefetch file I could try to access to recover this data? Many thanks.

WINDOWS XP HOME; emachines desktop; notepad

Forensic tools. Some are free.

This is not an offer to teach how to use these tools.
