Re: "Recovered Files" Always in Trash

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Dear Mark,

I too get these "recovered" files in the trash. I believe this is
Word's attempt to be helpful. In a case of what it seems to perceive
as some untoward (and sometimes 'invisible') internal problem
having occurred it dumps the temporary files in the trash so you can,
if you need, retrieve your data. So almost certainly, 'normal'
behaviour !

Other applications also exhibit this behaviour. But I particularly
noticed an increase in this once I upgrade to Mac OSX 10.4.8. There
might be a connection - but who knows what goes on in the mysterious
mind of computers ? (rhetorical question).

It is, I believe, nothing to worry about; but if you've time
(perhaps a lot of time) you may be able to track down why Word,
repeatedly, believes it's got some kind of problem. Alternatively,
you may have to put it down to Bob Buckland's observation that
"Word rarely misses an opportunity to perplex." !

Best wishes,
Simon Simpson
