How can you open an autosave (SV$) file if you didn't crash with the file open?

Yeah, that wouldn't work. I figured it out, tho. Under folder options I had to uncheck "hide known file type extensions".

AHH, you didn't let me know that you couldn't see the file extention. But,
that works too.

Thank you! Show the extensions for file type and it works like a charm
