Hi there,
the solution depends on if you remember saving the file or not?
Case 1 - you remember saving the file
Easy way :
If you had open a text file from "D:\Work1\Workfile1.txt" and have saved it.
Then subsequent new files may show the same path for saving.
If that happens to be the case here, you may check the previously saved text files' location for your missing file.
Little bit Hard Way:
You can use Search to find files that have extention .txt and created within your suggested time frame.
You may use powershell to GCI the whole system (C: and D: from root folder) to achieve the same.
Case 2 - you dont know if you saved the file
If bymistake you haven't saved the file, then there is no certain way of recovering it.
Open notepad then right click on the icon on the task bar, then you should see a list of the recent files.

If the file was not written from memory to disk then there's nothing else you can do.

Like I said in comment, If you remember saving the file.
You can use below PowerShell Command :
Get-ChildItem -Path "D:" -Filter "*.txt" -Recurse | ? { $_.LastWriteTime -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-3) }
explaination-
Path = "D:" (D drive - you may change drive letter)
Filtering = "*.txt" (searching for .txt file"
LastWriteTime > "AddDays(-3)"
you may change -3 to the days passed since the file may have been created/modified
this command will search 3 days back.
if you need it to search 5 days back, change -3 to -5.
