Message History by michiatlnx on 10-06-2005 at 06:08 AM

Hi,

It’s possible to make the built in MSN messenger ‘message history’ option in setup menu Options unavailable?
I think about a patch the files or any other way to make the option "Automatically keep a History of my conversations" unavailable, after that nobody can't activate this option.

MSN Messenger Build 7.5.0306

Technically, yes it is possible - via a patch/ hard or soft.
However, I have a different solution: set the path MSN uses to record logs to a read-only folder ;)

Set this Folder to read only, I get this error message after close the conservation windows.

<-----------
MSN Messenger

An error occurred saving the message history for ***** (d:\Documents and Settings\*****My Documents\My Received Files\*****\History\*****.xml):

Access is denied.

Do you want to save again?

I think better is a Patch, i found this in msnmsgr.exe
<-------
convhistory
{
richeditstyle:RichText|MultiLine|WordWrap;
Accessible:true; < set this to false, greyed out the option?
-------->


If it's possible, can anybody write me a patch?
I haven't any tools and no knowledge how to make it.

I use MSN Messenger Build 7.5.0306 DE

thx for the help.

TBH, I expected that. Still, it's better than nothing.
