How can I audit who has accessed certain files on a Windows 2003 Server?

We had a security hole here that inadvertently caused some drives to be accessible by the entire company. We locked it down, but want to see if anyone may have attempted to open these files and/or copy them. Unfortunately, file auditing was not turned on. Is there any type of trail we could look at to see if there is any temp data left behind? They are mostly MS Word and Excel files. There's about 60 users and computers, so I can go into each computer and look if I need to. Does anyone know the best way to go through and try to track this down?

What about temp files from the Office applications themselves? Do they reside for a certain amount of time in a temp directory?

Doesn't look like there is a solution to what I needed to do. I went ahead and took everyone's answers as acceptable replies.
