Photpshop crash

OK I have been working on an inage in photoshop. It is quite large and although I have a great system sometimes I can get a freeze up if the file is really big and I am mutitasking. I save often but sometimes I do a tedious task and it freezes before I get a chance to save.

Is there a way I can retrive that file through windows. I was hoping fora backdoor to the file so that I can save it before closing down photoshop and restarting.

The rest of the computer works fine. Photoshop is frozen I want access to the file I dont want to lose my work.

Photoshop CS
Windows XP SP2

Thanks for any replies.

Nope, you’re boned.

The file isn’t organized anywhere in neat-and-tidy .psd format until you save it.
