Saving Chat History on CD or Word? by JenniferAnn83 on 06-13-2007 at 01:14 AM

My laptop is on the blink and I would really like to save my chat history on a new laptop either by saving it to a CD or transferring it to word.  However, I can't seem to find the chat history file.  Also, when I tried to copy and paste, it won't allow me to do it.

Does anyone know if there is a way to transfer these files or save them to a CD?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

My Documents\My Chat Logs\

all of Plus's logs are stored there by default, in HTML or plain text format

What if it is not Messenger Plus?  I believe I just have Windows Live Messenger.  Are they still stored in a similar file for Windows Live Messenger (free version)?

the username is the front part of your email address, followed by a bunch of numbers, by default. check for the exact path by going to Tools > Options > Messages and look at the bottom of the window
