Tracking and archiving chats

[cm3504jm]

Can messenger, AIM, Messenger, and all other chat for that matter be archived on your hard drive in a file? I know messenger lets you archive IM's if you want, but does it also appear in a file on your computer, even if you choiose NOT to archive?

Just curious. (ok i want to see if who my wife chats with)

I'd bypass that and instead look for something called a "key logger" or "keystroke logger"
it will sit running in the background so it isn't known (by her) it is running, and everykeystroke will be written to a file.

this, I should note, isn't necessarily the best thing to do - you could just talk to your wife, but that's not my place... unless i'm the chatting with your wife
