By synchronizing I mean when one directory is updated with logs, the other directory is also updated at the same time, and they are always exactly the same. Maybe I'm using the term in the wrong context but my point is that christof asks if his logs can be 'recorded' in two directories and therefore I assume he means together.
* Syncronizing means updating the two directories so they contain the exact same
latest files, it is a bi-directional update. (1)
* This is different than copying a directory. (2)
* Which is again different than duplicating a directory. (3)
If these are the two directories:
Directory A:
-File 111 (from jan 1st 2005)
-File 222 (from nov 11th 2005)
-File 333 (from apr 4th 2005)
Directory B:
-File 111 (from sept 9th 2005)
-File 222 (from oct 10th 2005)
-File 444 (from jun 6th 2005)
(1) Syncronizing A and B:
notice that both are exactly the same, and that files were updated to the latest versions.
Directory A:
-File 111 (from sept 9th 2005)
-File 222 (from nov 11th 2005)
-File 333 (from apr 4th 2005)
-File 444 (from jun 6th 2005)
Directory B:
-File 111 (from sept 9th 2005)
-File 222 (from nov 11th 2005)
-File 333 (from apr 4th 2005)
-File 444 (from jun 6th 2005)
(2) Copying A to B:
notice that the files in B are overwritten with the files in A if they were the same, regardless of the date. Files in B which were not in A will remain in B. Directory A isn't touched or updated at all.
Directory A:
-File 111 (from jan 1st 2005)
-File 222 (from nov 11th 2005)
-File 333 (from apr 4th 2005)
Directory B:
-File 111 (from jan 1st 2005)
-File 222 (from nov 11th 2005)
-File 333 (from apr 4th 2005)
-File 444 (from jun 6th 2005)
(3) Duplicating A to B:
notice that directory B is a plain copy of directory A. All original files in B will be lost.
Directory A:
-File 111 (from jan 1st 2005)
-File 222 (from nov 11th 2005)
-File 333 (from apr 4th 2005)
Directory B:
-File 111 (from jan 1st 2005)
-File 222 (from nov 11th 2005)
-File 333 (from apr 4th 2005)
Either way, all can be done by a simple DOS command. And there is no easier method than this.

Why not?... it is a simple dos command... If you can't copy one folder to the other I very highly doubt any other (more complicated) method will work also...

What one will need it is another addon which makes it possible to record the logs.
What one will need is nothing more than what I've suggested though. Any other method is needless too complicated and making it far more harder than it is.

Like I said, after MSN Messenger finishes (and thus all logs are updated), simply duplicate or copy the logs.

Or is it that you need this so you can spy on someone's logs 
??? Even so, the fact remains that doing what I suggest is the easiest, simplest, fastest and most convenient way.
