Or you can simply find any other file on the internet, when it asks you where you want to save it, look a the folder it is referring you to. That will be the last place you saved a download to, and likely the place you downloaded your Microsoft file.

Aye, it's not a nice lesson to learn! :) Sorry I couldn't offer anything more helpful.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you completely. The masses just don't care enough until it matters, when, as you say, it is too late. One day people will wake up and look at the world, and say "how the hell did we let this happen".

Unfortunately you're not incredibly unlikely to have any luck without backups. The only thing I can suggest is asking the original recipient (or sender) if they still have it, then staggering your backups so that in future you have the ability to access older files.

Lol, I didn't want to say anything.

True, tfg13, but it's nothing new in the MS (or OS licence) world. The fact is that people simply don't care. They're not wrong, life's too short if you don't care about computers. It's just a shame that they are in the majority, and majority rule out.

Indeed, that is a breach of the license agreement.

Not as far as I am aware, unfortunately.

We have some HTC PDA/Phone units and haven't had this problem, but receipts are not exactly reliable. I personally set all of my mail clients to never respond to receipt requests.

We use our air compressor (used for car tyres) on our computers. Gbaughma might be right, and it probably isn't a 'best practice', but we've never had a problem and it's been used hundreds of times.

I thought we were talking about one backbone connection, rather than one per machine.

As with all conversational topics, now that it's been discussed, it surely will do!

I use one, two and three. There are occasions when I might not; for example: I would use the extra comma in the above example, simply because there is an 'and' in the previous item. As far as I am aware, both are acceptable.
