Hidden Chat History in Yahoo Messenger

August 24th, 2008 | by admin |

It may be strange, But still you can look your chat in history.

Some days ago I was just cleaning my system(I like to do personally instead of some Software).I Found Hidden Chat History in Yahoo Messenger.Here is the path where you can saw chat history of your messenger.

In Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Setting\Username\Application Data\.purple\logs\yahoo\yahoo user id\Person whom with you talked(his/her user id)\Chat messages in Text files

Where Username is replaced by the screen name you’re using.

If you’re using Vista, the yahoo profiles are in different location:
C:\Users\All Users\Yahoo!\Messenger\Profiles\Archive

C is replaced by Yahoo Messenger Installation Drive.

Remember that Yahoo’s archiving needs to be turned on (it’s off by default) and that also by default YIM will automatically delete messages after 10 days.
