Unhappy Autosave feature in XP Excel

I was working on a file and hit the close button by mistake. Worst part is that I did not have it saved.

I have autosave feature in XP turned on and I have looked in the .....User/Application Data/Microsoft/Excel folder.......... but there is nothing there.

Does it not save a file in this case? Or is this only good for if the system crashes?

If so, is there another way I can prevent from myself closing a file without saving?

THX

Yes, but someone walked into my office and I was not paying attention when I wanted to "minimize" and hit close.
