How do I retrieve original doc after saving new version over top?

I cropped a picture to use for something else, but stupidly saved it with the
same name as the original. Now I don't have the original any mroe - any
ideas?!!!

If the file you saved is a Word file, look for a file named "Backup of
[originalname].wbk". Rename originalname.doc to new-originalname.doc then
rename the backup file to old-originalname.doc.

Note:

1. Instead of ".doc" use whatever file extension you used.
2. This will only work if you haven't opened and saved the original file
more than once.
3. This will work only with Word documents and not with "pictures".
