O.P. Parental Control & Chat Logging - child can override!!??
Hi,

We are using Windows 2000, Messenger 7.0.0816 and Messenger Plus! 3.63.148.

I want to protect my children, especially having just discovered by accident that one of them was in trouble, so I set Parental Control on Plus! and set it to log all chats to a hidden folder on the computer.  However, it appears that chat logging can be overriden just by using the Plus! menu in each individual conversation window.

Have I done something incorrectly or is there no way of making sure all chat gets logged?  I want to make sure the children can't hide evidence of other people's wrong-doing to them, which I know scared children are likely to do.

Does the Live version of Plus! control this better and can we use this on our setup?

Thanks in advance.

Edited:  I forgot to ask about viewing the logs - I haven't quite got the hang of when Plus! saves the log or whether/when you can use a chat window to pull up and view the log or even perhaps delete it.  If someone could clarify that, I would appreciate it - I feel like a break from investigating new features!!!
