Deleted "My Received Files" Items
I just opened "My Received Files" to look for a file that was previously
transferred through MSN, but all of the files were gone! Does Windows automatically delete the files once it reaches a maximum limit, and can I get the information back?

In MSN goto Tools - Options - File Transfer
Check the path that received files are going to is the one you are expecting. Messenger doesn't have any automatic mechanism to delete these files. Regards Mark Dormer "confused" wrote in message ...

No, my MSN has that already setup to go into "My Received Files"
I can still receive files perfectly fine, and was able to before, too. All of the sudden it just disappeared. Right now I have 2 ideas - it might have been deleted by the computer (does it have a setting to clean up C: Drive occasionally?), or it may have been a virus (however, when I ran a virus scan, nothing showed up). Thank you. __________________________________________________ ___________ "Mark Dormer" wrote: In MSN goto Tools - Options - File Transfer Check the path that received files are going to is the one you are expecting.

The built in Disk Cleanup does remove files but you have to tell it to
delete stuff. And I don't believe it ever cleans up anything inside My Documents. Regards Mark Dormer "confused" wrote in message ...
