Reviewing chats ... by Paislee on 02-17-2009 at 05:18 PM
One single time, my daughter left her msn open and I was able to review the chat she had that evening. I don't know how - it just happened. (Now, before everyone jumps on my case, I generally don't snoop per se but rather, when the opportunity presents itself, I take advantage of it.) It was an eye-opening experience and we were able to have some discussion around some issues that she needed clarity on. I have never figured out how to do this type of thing since then.
In my internet search, I see there are programs you can install to do just this thing.
My question is, does this capability exist already and, if so, how does one access it?
Thanks kindly for any assistance in this effort.

Maybe you pressed Ctrl+Arrow keys...

Chat Logging exists both in Windows Live Messenger and Messenger Plus! Live
WLM - Tools -> Options -> Messages
MP!L - http://www.msgpluslive.net/download/ < If you do not have it installed yet
Plus -> Preferences and Options -> Conversations -> "Chat Logging"
Both of those ways would require her to be logged onto WLM so you could enable it (for either WLM's built in Chat Logging or MP!Ls chat logging)
Just set it to a folder, and read them when you'd like
I'd say Chat Logging would be the best for what you want
