Determining when a user first used messenger

[Guest]

I need to determine when a user first used messenger on my computer. When opening messenger this users e-mail address is available on the pull down. I checked the registry and this user is listed in the registry but no date.

It is highly important that I figure this out

Greetings Mike,

Unfortunately there really isn't any date that could be used to determine this with the
exception if you're using MSN Messenger 6.x, you could see when the files created with each
account were made. To do this, click Start, then Run, type "%appdata%\microsoft\msn
messenger". You'll see a group of folders with numbers, one of these will be your friends'
cache folder. Just go in each, right-click a file, choose Properties, and see when it was
created.
