Unfortunately, I now cannot find how to turn OFF chat logging. I go into the MSGPlus Preferences and go to Logging and   I uncheck "Automatically log all my chats by default" but it still logs them.
If you untick that option and you press "Apply" or "OK", chat logging should be permanently off. However you may need to close your current conversations you're having.

There is no reason at all why turning that option on or off wouldn't work though.

So, if you change other settings in the preferences, are they saved? Or are they restored to the default settings too when you restart your computer?

This shouldn't happen either. Once you have set a password in the preferences it should be remembered.

Do you have write access to your registry?

No, this is not the default folder. Messenger Plus! logs conversations in a different directory than Messenger by default.

It sounds to me, at first sight, that you have a very restricted windows account and are using non-default settings. Settings which are maybe added/set by somebody else, as some are certainly not the default behaviour.

Changing that option in the Configuartion Wizard is exactly the same as going to your preferences and changing it there (this goes for every option in the config wizard btw).


EDIT after your second reply: ahmetgns, here you suggest that you _must_ change that option _in_ the config wizard, as if that is the only place.... I corrected you here and said that this is not the case. Don't start an arguement saying I provide useless info. Don't start talking about how "people don't read the Config Wizard" as a reply to my correction, it has absolutely nothing to do with this.
