How can I access files saved in temporary OLK folder?

I am working with enclosures from Outlook and saving changes from time to time by clicking save icon in teh enclosure. There are many of my friends that have lost their work because they saved their work while working in the Outlook enclosure, but did not save the changes to the Outlook message when they finished. After closing Outlook without saving the message, the changes to the document are lost. We then try the "Save As" option and see a path that leads us to a folder called "OLKxxxx". I am able to follow the path to the Temp Internet Files location, but unable to access the file in the OLKxxxx folder. Can anyone tell me how can I access those files and recover the changes? I am running XP with Office 2003 by the way? Thanks.

You should have known that it is a hidden folder, so you need to enable viewing hidden folders and try again. The next time, you have to open the item separate from Outlook and use Save as to retain changes outside the secure temp folder. Hope this helps.
