Please do not compare Plus! with spyware like that!!!!! There is nothing abnormal about the current situation. Nothing is hidden in the background or obscured or difficult at all. The only thing people need to do is READ what pops up on their screen, they even don't need to click anything first.

As Patchou said the Config Wizard is very clear and simple in this. And even the Preferences are easy understandable.

Chat Logging-
      Messenger Plus! can keep your chat logs better than original WLM.

o Yes, save my chat logs     o No, don't save my chat logs.

And thus, if user doesn't read Config Wizard or someone disabled it from registry on a computer to pop-up when first sign-in, then a second window may pop-up for only ask for this Chat Logging when closing a chat window like WLM does. Then users have to opt for an item in that small window, either Save or Don't save. Because there won't be an option to close that window unless they opt for one, I mean no X on window and OK button is disabled until user opts for one.
No, no and no.

The option is already extremely clear and simple. Why must everything always change and be made far more complicated? There is absolutely nothing wrong with how the option is presented, neither in the Config Wizard, neither in the preferences.

What you suggest will make things a 1000 times more annoying, complicated and confusing to the user... not user-friendly in any way...

Again, if something should change it is only 1 registry setting (which sets the default state for chat logging; and which I also can agree upon, but not because of the same reasons as you), absolutely nothing more. If Patchou isn't going to change that, he certainly isn't going to mess up and mangle up the current user-friendly interface and method.
