| | Are past chats accessible? If past chats are not saved, is there any way they can be "accidentally" accessed (as in a cache or something like that)? Asking because I once stumbled across fragments of AIM chats (although I can't remember exactly how) Thanks |

Greetings Susan, Nope, once that conversation has been closed the conversation is gone unless you have the message history feature on, manually saved it or have some third-party like Messenger Plus which saved it somewhere. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Susan B" <SusanB@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:EE11E20E-A56E-4658-9ED7-41E25A49D307@xxxxxx Quote: > If past chats are not saved, is there any way they can be "accidentally" > accessed (as in a cache or something like that)?

| | Re: Are past chats accessible? Jonathan, Although there isn't usually, there maybe fragments of the conversation logged in the msnmsgr.txt file. This is only there if you've enabled connection logging in the advanced settings. View the log file and then do a search for X-MMS-IM-Format and you should see fragments of the conversations that you've been having with people, along with the rest of the server messages. -- (Windows Live Butterfly Expert) "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" <msnewsreplies@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:CAE2F09B-5C7B-485C-AFB2-D165FABE96F3@xxxxxx Quote: > Greetings Susan, > > Nope, once that conversation has been closed the conversation is gone > unless you have the message history feature on, manually saved it or have > some third-party like Messenger Plus which saved it somewhere. > > -- > Jonathan Kay > Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger > MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger > MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com > Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com > (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature > or citation > -- > > > > > "Susan B" <SusanB@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:EE11E20E-A56E-4658-9ED7-41E25A49D307@xxxxxx Quote: >> If past chats are not saved, is there any way they can be "accidentally" >> accessed (as in a cache or something like that)?
