MSN Instant Messenger
Summary: If enabled, MSN Messenger stores your message history in a relatively obscure location, but it's easily discovered. Where is the message History File saved? I'll assume you mean MSN Messenger. Fire up Messenger, Select Tools, Options, Messages, and near the bottom of that dialog you'll find the Message History setting. Enable that and you can see where the message history files are stored or specify the location yourself. • Article 213 | Posted May 29, 2004 |

Hi Leo
Posted by: Dianne at April 22, 2008 3:23 AMI have an acer windows vista and I was looking for my message history, messages that was sent out from my msn hotmail where could I find it
thanks Dianne
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.
