Many times someone access their WLM using my PC and their convos stay stored here.

Is there any way to disable the log feature for all accounts by default and than enable manually those I want to log?

You can set preferences for accounts which don't exist yet.
This means that if somebody has already signed in, changing the default settings will have no influence anymore on those account preferences; it will only work for not-yet-existing accounts.

To do this, you need to manually edit the registry.

You know that the preferences for a specific account are stored in the registry under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\<Windows Live ID>\Preferences
(if you didn't, you know now )

To change the default preferences, thus for accounts which don't exist yet, you need to set the preferences you want to overwrite in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\DefaultSettings\Preferences

For example, to disable Plus! logging of conversations, you must create a new DWORD key named 'EnableChatLog' in
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\DefaultSettings\Preferences" and set its value to 0.

The next time someone new will sign in on your Messenger, and thus a new default preference set will be generated for them by Plus!, their conversation logging will be disabled.


Note: removing an account (aka Windows Live ID) from the contact list's sign in list will not remove the Plus! preferences for that account! You need to manually remove its preference set in the registry.

oh, oops, didn't mentionned it... sorry...  it is 'EnableChatLog'

Thanx dude...
is there any page where I can see all these keys?

There is list of some 'advanced'/'hidden' registry settings. Settings which you can not change via the Plus! preference panel in Messenger. This list can be found if you go to the official Plus! website and click on 'help': http://www.msgpluslive.net/help/registry/

A list of the normal settings, the ones you can change via the preference panel isn't available. But to find out what key to add or change in the default preferences, change something in your own account and compare the changes of your own preference set in registry with what it was before you've changed some option. Most of them speak for their own.

Cool...thanx again
