Archived encrypted chat log files by ptmcn on 09-02-2004 at 02:25 PM
I notice I can locate but cannot open older (monthly archived chat logs)..am I doing something wrong...the file has a ple extension.

I'm having the same problem. If anyone knows, please let me know.
The only way I know of viewing old month's log files is going to the folder and viewing it directly there.
Is it possible viewing it in MSG Plus?

Does it give a error when opening the file(s)? Are you sure your typing the correct password?
RE: Archived encrypted chat log files by ptmcn on 09-02-2004 at 09:18 PM
No... NotePad opens the files but the contents appear as garbage charcaters...as though they are still encrypted...also I'm not prompted for the password when I open the files.

The enchipted chat log files shouldn't be opened with notepad but with msgplus.exe instead. If when you double click a *.ple file you see notepad with weird characters do this:
Right click the file and choose Open with > Choose program (if you aren't on XP, shift + right click with show the open with entry at the menu). Now you have to choose msgplus.exe and check the box that says that you want to always open *.ple files with that program (msgplus.exe). Click ok and you'll be prompted to enter the password. If it's correct, notepad will be opened with the decoded file.

I was wondering if it'll open history log files of previous months without having to go to the folder?
Right now when I right click on names in MSN -> MSG PLUS Extras -> Chat Log
It only opens the currently month. Can I look at previous months in here?

I get the message below, but I know I've talked to the person before this month. But it doesn't show previous months.
"No log has been recorded with this contact yet."

And note that if you changed the folder names, it won't work.
RE: Archived encrypted chat log files by Cronos on 09-08-2004 at 08:48 PM
Which folder name?
RE: Archived encrypted chat log files by Choli on 09-08-2004 at 09:00 PM
the folders where the logs are stored, both the ones of this month and the ones of previous months (archieved)
