Storyline File Disappeared

I have been working on a Storyline file for the last week or so. It was saved on my desktop. When I tried to open it this morning, it seems to have disappeared from my computer. I've searched everywhere on my desktop and it's not there. I downloaded the previous three versions of Storyline, and I cannot locate it in any of those versions, either. I also can't locate it anywhere in my company's shared drive. Is there any way to get this file back? I've already put so much time and work into it.

    Hi Kathleen

    try this:

    1. Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline
    2. Scan the contents of this folder for a file that starts with the name of your project. If you find one, copy it to your desktop. If you find more than one, copy the latest version to your desktop.
    3. Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story.
    4. Double-click the file to open it in Storyline.
