Word 2010, under File, Options, Save, I have Save AutoRecover information every 1 minute and have Keep the last autosaved version if I close without saving checked.  I have a path in the AutoRecover file location blank.  When I create a new document, and type some text in there, I do see the .asd backup file for my unsaved document.  However, when I close the document and tell it Don't Save, the .asd backup file disappears.  I thought that feature meant that .asd file would remain there so I could pull it up under File, Recent, Recover Unsaved Files after I closed without saving.  I need to get that working, or understand what I'm not understanding about that feature.  Thanks in advance.

I have never came across this kind of situation, I will see if I can find the solution.
