It depends on what type of file you were working on. Like MS office has such kind of feature to automatically save at some time interval. The power is off .... Then when you open the word next time, it will have an unsaved list of files on the left... But it might not go back the exact point you are working on. It certainly helps and you won't lose everything...

Is there a reset button on xp computer?
This entirely depends on what kind of computer/laptop you have with Microsoft XP OS, but - to restart your computer you click start, shutdown, then restart. Try pressing control, alt, and delete simultaneously. If it has frozen up and you can't do this, hold the power button in for a few seconds, this is the next safest way to shut it down. If that doesn't work, unplug it and plug it back it and press the power button to start it up. Warning. These methods can lose any unsaved data, but if it has frozen up, you don't have much choice.
