| | Re: please i really needs help with my msn history Greetings Nicole, Well, your Messenger history is stored on your own computer and is not stored on the server. As such, you can't simply re-download it. However, what you can do is try some file recovery tools to attempt to get the history files back. See Part I, #2 for a list of free applications to help with this here: http://lifehacker.com/393084/how-to-...-free-software You can quickly view the location your history files would have been in by opening any Messenger window, pressing the Alt key on the keyboard to bring up the menu bar, choosing the Tools menu, then Options, then Messages category and observing the "Save my conversations in this folder" field. Use your mouse to drag-select the field to see the whole thing. The history files within this folder that you'll be wanting to undelete are .XML files. You can use this information to filter through the various deleted files and find what you're looking for. One final note -- if you're referring to Messenger Plus! Live chat log files (as opposed to the Messenger message history), those files will instead be in various month folders in "My Chat Logs" in your "My Documents" folder. They will be .HTML files. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "nicole" <nicole@newsgroup> wrote in message news:8CA18ACC-B84D-4746-964D-B89EB094C2DE@newsgroup Quote: > i have deleted my msn messenger history of my computer and i really needs it > back is there any ways of getting it back > > could get it sent to me in any way > hope some one can help me tar > |
