Hi I used to save all my chats but then my computer was infected with a virus and lost everything (i mean everything!) my computer had to be re-born - is there any way i can retrieve chats i had about three years ago, i can not seem to contact anyone at msn, thank you

No. They don't save 'em.

I have just made it so i can save my history but how do i get all my history back from before ?

If you weren't saving your history from before then there's no record of your history from before and you can't recover your history from before.

TO delete chat logs from showing up in my docs/chat logs - for PLUS!:

go to
- plus link at top
- preferences
- conversations
- chat logging - here you uncheck the first box, and then i went into filter and pressed disable button at bottom..and unchecked all contact...

HOPE THAT DOES IT!!

I know where the message history is, but why does the history not save if messenger shuts down without you closing the chat window manually? e.g. if it encounters a problem and needs to close, or when your system does an update and automatic restart?

Thanks in advance.

For everyone who's asking about retrieving messages which have not been saved in MSN Messenger's Message History... it can't be done. If the option isn't turned on, once you close the chat window, the chat is GONE.

- How to turn Message History on/off: At the top of the MSN Messenger window, select 'Tools', then 'Options'; then click the third entry down on the left-hand side, 'Messages'. If you want to retain a message history, "Automatically keep a history of my conversations" MUST be checked; if you do NOT want to retain messages, UNcheck that selection.

If you have the Message History option turned on, your conversations will be stored in the folder indicated in the "Save my conversations in this folder:" area.

When you first get msn messanger there is an option for you to have message history or not. Probably like quite a few other people i said no. Then suddenly i did want it but i caouldn't find a way to get it back. But now i do for all the people who did what i did. You just go into the the top left corner and look for Tools. Click on tools and then go down to the bottom and click options...Click on messages and then go down and you'll find the thing about message history. click it.

Hi,
I am facing problem in detecting massage history file names of MSN messenger.
I need to programmatically detect file name using users email id.
so I can use username before @ but again if there are two users of same name but different domains like amol@something.com
and amol@somethingelse.com then msn will generate two history files starting like "amol then some random number .xml"
Thanks in advance for your help.
Amol.

Do you know how MSN history files are named? I thought it was just a random assortment of numbers on the end (10) but that doesn't seem to be it.

In most cases those files are meant to be read in the instant messaging program itself, not directly. So the file has additional information not really meant for human eyes. Not really sure what to tell you about the video. My guess is that it is, indeed, gone.

I have a friend that is in a precarious work situation and we talk abouit it in the messenger. I have version 7.0 & i have the history & a way to delete it if i need to. But she has version 4 and we can't find anyway of getting to a history file. Did that version even keep a history? If so how do we get to it to view & delete? When she goes to "file" and the drop down appears there is no "view message history" in hers...Please help if you can...THANK YOU!

If you didn't have them saved, then no.

I just wanted to know whether you can find old msn messages that weren't stored to your computer? surely there must be a way of finding them on your hard drive?

I was wondering how I pull up old AOL Instant Message conversations, or if I even can.

I have enabled automatic saving of conversations in history in MSN messenger. But yesterday, i had finished chatting with one contact and when I went to view the message history, yesterday's conversation was missing. What happened?? I don't understand. Pls help. I tried searching for it everywhere. The XML history file shows previous chat sessions, but not yesterday's. Help!

I would like for instant messages to be put somewhere so you can go back to it after you exit the instant message. That way you can show people what creeps have been IMing you.

Windows Messenger version 5 doesn't have Tools->Options->Messages tab, and thus no way to determine where our Message History file is located. We know it's being generated as someone has been jacked up by Managers based on a print out of their history. Anyone know what the story might be?

I would like to disable the option save history in MSN Messenger. I'd like it to be always on, with no way of changing it. Please post a suggestion if you have one.
Thanks,
Steve

Not reasonable that I can think of. I mean, yes, one could write a program that intercepts file operations and acts on the ones you want - much like spyware can to. But it'd requires a computer programmer to pull that together for you, and would not be easy. Be aware that Yahoo claims the archives are encrypted such that only the ID that created them can read them.

i have different folks using my computer. they delete message archives on yahoo messenger. How can i set up a system, where when they hit delete, the messages they delete go into a different folder. that way it looks like messages have been deleted, and they think they are deleted. but in reality they are in another folder.
