It's in your Connect Files in UCD Connect.

Ask at the desk for help if you can't find the document.

Can you remember where abouts on the computer you saved it? Was it on your H drive ('My Documents' is in your H drive)?

Go onto a UCD computer and search through your H drive (the drive that's named with your student number) and see if you can find it.

In future, open a dropbox.com account (free) or similar to backup your files online. Also get a memory key and save it on that. Email the file to yourself as a backup.

Same thing happened me before there. One of the guys at the front desk was able to find it in temp files afair.
Do check your h drive first though. On the IT services tab - bottom right hand side 'my files' H:Home Directory. Not sure if that is the same thing as connect files but worth a try I guess.
Hope you find it.

Ìf you said "Save" and didn't change directory then, it's probably under H:\Documents. We can't tell, obviously - it will be wherever you put it, so you need to take control and put things where you need them to be. The H: drive is "your" space on the UCD system.

On UCD PCs, the normal Search system has been disabled, but you can install a file manager of your own and use that to search: get CubicExplorer Portable and install it to H: or a USB key, then you can search H: for your file.
