Re: messenger chat logs problem

Quote:
my computer saves all chat history in C:\Users\katrina\Documents\My Chat Logs\
If you have unchecked the automatically keep a history of my conversations option then the only way that this could keep saving is if your security system is creating backup files i.e Norton

Where about are the files being saved from messenger? (Open messenger and select
tools\options\messages\Save My Conversations In This Folder)

However i have been informed that sometimes Microsoft can switch the monitoring on if you have checked the Allow Microsoft To Collect Anonymous Information...
It doesn't send the mail to Microsoft but keeps a copy of the messages to count up later to turn into statistics

To switch this feature off

Open messenger and select
tools\options\General\Quality Improvement

unchecked *Allow Microsoft To Collect Anonymous Information About How I Use Windows Live Messenger*

and delete chat folder, If you have windows Live Mail, its found in the same location in WLM
