Today, for the second time, I was working on something in LyX and
managed to crash it, losing my document. I had not yet saved the file
(so the name in the title bar was "newfile1.lyx").
Both LyX itself and the documentation say that there is an "auto-save"
feature to create emergency backups. (LyX said before crashing that
when it resumed, I would be prompted to open my auto-saved
document--this did not happen.)
I worked on the document for a good 40 minutes so the auto-save should
have worked, right? /Does/ it work on the Windows version of LyX and
if so, where does it put the backup files? I can't find them anywhere.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,

I fixed this problem a few days ago.
Your autosave file is either in the temporary directory, somewhere in
Documents&Settings\user. There should be a number of directories called
lyx_tmpdir.***.
Or: the autosave file is in the directory of another document that was
opened when you created the new one.
Good luck.
