Karl, The student's document shouldn't be lost. All they need to do is log into the PC they were actually on. Unless you have a deep freeze like solution that wipes any changes, Windows have local profile that stays on the machine. If student A sits at the same PC every day, then the changes and files saved to the desktop will be there every time they log in. If they goes to another PC, that PC creates another local profile. So, look on the machine the document was saved on. You just might find it.

I didn't really feel to bad about it, just wanted to see if I could prevent it from happening again. Karl H.
