Soundrecorder.exe Froze While Saving - Where is file???

[bucks]

Hi,
I'd just finished recording an important family discussion using the regular old basic soundrecorder in Vista. I clicked "stop recording" which brought up the SAVE dialog and just at that moment, Google Chrome which I also had open, crashed and my recording save dialog went white and the title bar said "not responding".

I let it just sit there and churn for 1/2 an hour. No progress. I launched Task Manager to try and shut down Chrome and Task Manager crashed "not responding". So, right now, after 2 hours, I still have a 'not responding' message on Chrome, Task Manager, and Soundrecorder, and Windows Explorer too because I started to look for the soundrecorder temp file and it crashed too.

I need to find out WHERE and under what type of file name and extension, soundrecorder.exe saves files that are in progress and not yet saved to a .wma file type.

I've searched google, bing, microsoft.com, and several other places and have come up empty.

PLEASE help?

And...if someone is able to help me FIND the file, what will I be able to do with it when I find it?

Thank you very much in advance to anyone who may try to help.
