RE: Chat Logs, lack of privacy
The real problem here is that most users don't understand how to use the security and multi-user features built into Windows correctly.

Windows has a concept of user accounts.  User accounts should correspond one to one to humans.  Even though you used your brother's computer, you should never have used it with his user account (nor should he have allowed you to).  Instead, a separate Windows user account should have been made for you.  That alone would have insured, among other things, that 1)you can change any settings you want without affecting your brother; 2)you would get your own Documents and your own logs -- not all that well protected from him if he was trying to see them, but at least out of his immediate sight.
