I've read your answer to the question:

"Every so often I get an email attachment and double-click it to open it up on my Mac. It opens up fine, I make edits and save the document, but then when I quit Word I can't find the $#@$# document on my system. What's going on and where are the documents I've edited?"

[ed. note: See (Where is Microsoft Word saving my email attachments?]

I have the exact same problems, but it happens in windows. I'm using Outlook Express for my email. I open an attachments, edit it, save it, close it. But I don't know where it was saved, so I can't open it. I tried to download the same attachment, and save it again, and it add "(1)" after my file name. That means my original file is still somewhere in my computer. Can you help me to locate where is it?

I like Spotlight well enough that I find myself using it a few times a week to help dig files out of my huge archives, but it always bugs me that it sees and indexes all my mail messages too. If I wanted to have all my email searched, I'd do so in the program itself. How do I disable this feature of Spotlight?
