How can I recover lost files from a program that crashed

Sure! Here are five different responses you could use:

1. **Check Auto-Save:** First, see if the program has an auto-save feature. Many programs save your work automatically, so you might find a recent version of your file in the auto-save folder.

2. **Look in Temp Files:** Sometimes, programs create temporary files while you're working. You can check the temp folder on your computer (like C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Temp on Windows) to see if there’s a file you can recover.

3. **Use File Recovery Software:** If the above methods don’t work, consider using file recovery software. There are plenty of free and paid options out there that can help you recover lost files from your hard drive.

4. **Check Backups:** If you have a backup system in place, like cloud storage or an external hard drive, check there. You might have a previous version of your file saved somewhere.
