[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1330201"] The short answer is no, that work is gone for good. Guest accounts are temporary accounts. They delete EVERYTHING that was stored on them the moment you log out. Period, end of story. lifeisabeach's answer is incorrect, because a guest account is DESIGNED not to retain anything -- at all -- that is placed in that account, so unlike a normal account there is NOTHING that can recover any info -- because there was never any info saved on the hard drive in the first place. As you've yourself learned, what you really want is your own separate account. Or better yet, your own machine. :) [/QUOTE]
