Where is my archive hiding???
Hello everyone! I'm having a very hard time locating my message archive on my computer. Im trying to create a backup of everything on my computer and the only thing i can't seem to find is my yahoo messenger message archive. I have searched EVERYWHERE in every possible folder, looking for the .dat files but have only come up with maybe 5 folders of old messages, none of the current ones are anywhere to be found. I have archiving enabled and have had it like that since i started using yahoo on this computer almost 2 years ago. I can see every single message when I go through yahoo messenger's viewer to see them, which would clearly mean they are ON my computer, but the problem is WHERE? I've tried searching for the screen names i've chatted with, the dates the convos took place and still nothing. It has to be somewhere but no matter where I look or what I do i cannot locate a single thing. Also the icons that I have for my messenger should be showing up in a folder somewhere as well but they are also nowhere to be found. How is it possible to see these things while using messenger, but to find the actual folder where they are stored is impossible. Can anyone please help or at least offer some advice? Anything would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
