RE: Chat Logs, lack of privacy
vaccination, do you know there is a Registry Setting which prevents Configuration Wizard to pop-up for new users? For example, queen_bee's brother may have disabled Configuration Wizard via Registry Settings, and therefore queen_bee may haven't even gone through the wizard in the first place. I mean the wizard may not be there always.

I want to point out something here. Chat Logging is a privacy issue, isn't it? Noone wants their chat logs to be read by others normally, do they?

So if someone comes here and complains like "Why did not Messenger Plus! log my conversations? I need to look what my friend wrote to me yesterday, but I can't find any log file now.", then I would say him like you that "Yes, MsgPlus! could log your conversations, but if you wanted it, you had to go its Preferences and check the option for it." If he says in return that "But I installed MsgPlus! for only its chat log feature, I don't use any other feature it provides", then I would say him "You are not aware of an option for chat logs yet, are you? So if MsgPlus! logged your conversations without your notice, would you be OK with it, especially after seeing someone is reading them? Or would you complain about it too at that time?"

That is what I mean since my other thread about this issue.

queen_bee, you can use Shift+Delete key combination while you are completely deleting some files from your computer. That combination doesn't send the file to the Recycle bin for further recovery chance and saves you from going to there for a second time.
