Is there a way to see what your most recently modified files/folders on your computer are?

I was playing a video game on my PC. I made a video of what I was doing in-game but the file didn't save in its normal place. If I restart the game without renaming that file it'll be deleted!

Is there a way to list ALL programs on your computer, or at least show the most recent one, in order of most recently modified? I know you can do for the contents of a file, but the problem is I don't know where the file is...

cheers

Update:

hey there, i'm actually on windows xp but i'll give it a go, thanks!
