Default History text file


Hello group, I need to obtain a telephone number which
was given to me whilst chatting on messenger.
I seem to remember that I once inadvertantly found a text
file which contained all my recent conversations held on
messenger. Does this file still exist ?
Running windows messenger 4.7
Thanks all !!

Greetings Otto,

Windows Messenger on its own can't save log files automatically, but if you have Messenger
Plus! installed it can. You'll find these logs (by default) in "My Chat Logs" in your My
Documents folder.
