Batch file or registry value?

At my local public library, a few months ago, I saved a word doc to the system. The computer was then later rebooted by some kid, and after 30 minutes of searching the computer, I realized I lost the file. I then tried saving another and restarting the computer to see what would happen. Long story short, i never saw that file again either. After a quick Google search I realized that there was a registry value or batch file on the computer that deleted this(not keen on these terms) (UBER NOOB.. hehe) Now, how do I turn this file off, and what is this file?

It's likely more complicated than a registry value or batch file. They're probably using a commercial program like DeepFreeze while will undo any changes to a system the next time it is restarted. You'll have a hard time getting around it.
If you're just wondering because of the documents, try saving it to the floppy if you have access, or email it to some web account.
