Or to branch off that a bit....I know it takes a whole lot of time and only works with Windows Xp Professional, Windows Vista Ultimate (Seeing that's what I have, perhaps others can enlighten with Home Basic, Home Premium and Business) but if you were serious about preventing one from deleting chat logs...give the kids their own user account and do a few things:
a) Log onto each Messenger account and set a preferences password
b) Set the folder created to be hidden to them
and
c) set the folder security permissions to prevent them to delete the folder and files
If this is the path you wish to take...I can easily provide steps on how to set it all up correctly.
