Don't delete the autorecover file even if we choose not to save .

[graceliming]

In your product, a document could be recovered automatically when the system
encountered some problem like power failure. However, when the system is
normal, this recovery function does not work again.

So, please don't delete the autorecover file(which is located in
....\Application Data\Microsoft\word\...asd.). You know, sometimes we choose
not to save changes even if we do not mean to.

And when your HD is filled with .asd files?

If you want to create a copy of your document then use the
"Automatically create backup copy" option under Tools/Options/Save.
This will create a copy of your last saved version of the document.

Microsoft has already incorporated enough features in which they
attempt to think for you. In this case you are asked if you want to
save changes. If someone "chooses not to save changes even when they
do not mean to" then that's called a 'learning experience'. Eventually
they will learn to slow down and think for a second before clicking a
button after experiencing the need to recreate their document because
they clicked without thinking.

btw, we don't need multiple confirmations incorporated either. I can
just imagine that scenario! lol

"Do you want to save the changes to <DocumentName>?" NO
"Are you really really sure?" YES
"To be certain we understand you correctly, are you saying you do not
want to save changes to <DocumentName>?"
