I had my external hard drive stolen this week when someone broke into my
car. The hard drive had all of my work on a project I've been doing for
work for the last 2 1/2 months. Everything is lost. Most of the files
were at least partially created or editted on my laptop which has
Windows Vista. I've heard that Vista may make copies of documents
accessed on your computer. Is this true?? If so, would there be any way
of recovering any of these items without having the actual hard drive?
I had no other backups. The files were also partially created and
edited on a computer with Windows XP so if anyone knows if that system
backs anything up, that would be helpful as well.

Any tips are appreciated!! I am not looking foward to re-starting this
project from scratch. The most important documents were Adobe Captivate
documents.

You are so screwed. Next time, keep the files on your laptop and use
the external drive for backing them up.
