Default Keeping Logs

Is there a place where IM transmissions are logged. I received an url link
and can't find it because I received it via an IM. Is there a way to retreve
it? Thanks.

Default Re: Keeping Logs

Greetings,

On its own with no third-party software, Windows Messenger does not log or archive
conversations (unless you click the File menu, Save As option before closing the window).

If you have Messenger Plus! installed, you can find the chat logs (by default) in My
Documents\My Chat Logs.

If you're using MSN Messenger and have turned the option on, you can simply right-click a
contact on the contact list and choose View Message History.
