| | Re: Don`t want a history of my live messenger conversations kept Greetings, Recording to what exactly? If you turn the feature off, they will no longer save (although you'll need to delete the existing ones that are there -- you can find the folder name in that same dialog). Additionally, if you have some third-party software (like Messenger Plus! Live) installed, it also may be saving your conversations and you'll have to turn off its own logging feature. Although these will be separate from the Messenger ones. -- 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 -- "warmingupfast" <warmingupfast@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:8BA93D4D-1DCC-45A1-BFF3-30222FCE6EF7@xxxxxx Quote: > I thought I had configured my liive messenger so as to NOT keep a history of > my conversations (tools -> options -> messages -> message history -> > unchecked *automatically keepp a history of my conversations*) but they are > still being recorded.

| | Re: Don`t want a history of my live messenger conversations kept Hi, I've got the opposite question to warmingupfast's. I want to turn on default keeping of conversations, but can't find where to do it. I've seen references to Tools/Options/Messages, but my options dialog doesn't contain a Messages tab. I'm running version 4.7.3001 of Windows Messenger. How can I keep an archive of conversations by default? Thanks! "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote: Quote: > Greetings, > > Recording to what exactly?

| | Re: Don`t want a history of my live messenger conversations kept Hi, Windows Messenger doesn't have this feature. You'll need to install the latest Windows Live Messenger for this. If you really want to stick with Windows Messenger, an old version of Messenger Plus will do logging for you: http://www.msgpluslive.net/download/old/ -- 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 -- "mrsinger" <mrsinger@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:BB5422CC-B32C-4143-A019-D385A5A388F3@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi, > > I've got the opposite question to warmingupfast's.
