BTW: In Vista it's likely to have to do with either the built-in backup/restore feature (whose file was hidden, as far as I saw) or alternatively with the Shadowing feature for files. The latter one is a file system addition that allows top keep a kind of version history of any file completely transparently. I believe there is a way to return to a previous version of a file through the properties (or one other tab) when right-clicking on the file and choosing "Properties" in the context menu.
