Greetings,
History of what exactly? If you mean conversations, Windows Messenger does not have a message archive feature and won't save anything. The exception being if you're using a third party tool like Messenger Plus which would save the conversations for you. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2006 Jonathan Kay.

JK- My messenger history is in XML format. How can I get it to a text
format? The XML is something I have not seen before. Did I switch the format unknowingly? Thanx "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote: Greetings, History of what exactly?

Hiii, yes by default it saves in xml format only easy for messenger to view
the history when u want to see the archive from within your messenger "click here for history" its normal and is actually makes very easy to navigate if u want it in text simply open the xml file copy the area and save it to a text file. or u can save the file to html format from browser save as option. although they are other messsenger third party tools! to that save conversation in text its a hassle! so i dont recommend any cya. Hope this helps... Umesh Thota www.windowsworkshop.com "Sequoia" wrote in message ... JK- My messenger history is in XML format. How can I get it to a text format?
