350090 2005-04-29 01:29:00 Hi,
I want to be able to protect my msn history from other people using my computer. I dont want to make another user profile, or disable the msn history. I just want to protect it. I have tried changing permissions but msn has to be able to modify it, which means it needs to be able to read it. I was wondering if there is anyway i can password protect it, or protect it some other way?

Or maybe there is a program I missed that does this for you?

I'm looking for anything that might work...

Cheers

Josh

Otherwise an encryption programme is probably your best bet. There are some free ones around but can't think of any at the mo.

350093 2005-04-29 06:10:00 my file system is NTFS. how do you do it within windows? or is it just the permissions thing? jcerecke (4249)

350095 2005-04-29 12:11:00 you could try using msgplus! which allows you to log and password protect MSN chat session, however it intergrates differently than msn msgrs style. Try it though, it has lots of other featues too
