    Finally figured out that Autosave & Autorecover are totally different features that perform the same function. Why can't that be explained up front???? You can change the Autorecover location but not the Autosave location. What a waste of time!!!!!

    Need Serious Help: How To Record Video of What is Done on my PC?

    I suggest the following simple steps:

    1. Set the autosave options in MS Office to a low value say 5 minutes.
    2. Setup file history to autosave frequently - the shortest period is 5 mins
    3. Install Macrium Reflect Free and configure it to do a daily incremental system backup

    You should be well covered if you do the above to protect your key files.
