All the windows file system datetime stamps are very unreliable since all they all can and will easly be altered, even unwillingly.

The registry should be the place you head to when you have some non-standard/rare needs to be catered for.
And since only you and a small hand full of others are the only ones who seem to be having problems with the way it is, it is safe to assume that this is such a
rare need.

That is extremely unfriendly to the user. Not only are you then forcing a radical change upon the user without its consent, it would also create a big mess in the existing log directories and people will start to complain for sure!
If such a change is being introduced it must be accompanied with a well thought GUI change and even a possible way to convert the existing directories to the new system if the user wishes so.

Don't get me wrong, but reading your posts I get the feeling you're a very knowledgeable PC/IT user. The average people using Messenger and Plus! are not. While we, savy PC users, have no problems with dealing such situations, registry changes, advanced options and settings, the average user is certainly not. You need to look at all this from their POV. The change you propose is good in my eyes too, but it is not possible and not easy to do just-like-that. Moreover, there does not seem to be a big request for this either.
