Plus! > Preferences > Conversations tab > Log Encryption(down left-hand side) and click the "Re-encrypt log files..." button.

Yep tried that but it doesnt encrypt my old chat logs, i dont know what it does, i type in the password and then press the button and then i have to type in my password again and then it brings up my chat log folder and the option is to open it and when i manage to find a chat log it then says this files has not been encrypted by "Plus", so it cant open it, and when in this window i cannot view my chat log files but when i go to my documents view i can see my chat logs are visible. My chat logs appear an an HTML file, could this have anything to do with why i cant encrypt my older chat logs?

I don't quite understand that myself. Never used it before, but I would of thought re-encrypting would select .html chat logs, then encrypt them like it says "apply your current password to existing logs", but it's asking for a .ple encrypted file rather than .html. :S

Thanks for the replys, just a shame i cant lock my older posts, not sure how else to make them private as i cant simply hide the chat log file as the chat logs can still be accessed through the plus menu on the msn drop down bars.

Anyone have any ideas on how i could make the chat logs only accesssable by me?

Thanks

That's what re-encrypting means though: replacing the old encryption with a new encryption.

Anyways, kymbo14, did you search the forums? This question is already asked several times. As a matter of fact, there is a recent thread where the very same thing is asked and which was even replied to yesterday....

Note that chat logs from Windows Live Messenger can not be encrypted. Only chat logs made by Messenger Plus! can be encrypted.
