Suppose a few days ago you received a very important message via ICQ containing valuable information for you, and you need to re-read this message by all means. This is quite simple to do.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to view the history of ICQ-communication with a contact of interest: you just need to right-click the contact's name, and then select the menu item "View history" or "Message history".
Step 2
If you do not see the message history in the window that opens, there is still an opportunity to read the ICQ history. To do this, you need to look for where the history of ICQ messages is stored. In different versions of ICQ this address may differ. For example, to find the history of ICQ 6.5, enter "C: Documents and Settings [account_name] Application DataICQ" in the address bar. During the search, you need to enable the display of hidden files and folders, otherwise you will not be able to find where the message history is saved. Optionally, you can also place history files of other ICQ versions in the same folder.
Step 3
Another way to keep your icq message history is to install a special program Punto Switcher for keyboard layout. This program has a "spy" function "Diary". It will store everything that is written from the computer - for example, messages and passwords. To do this, you need to set up a diary so that it saves information (this will take a few seconds); it can be password protected if desired.
Step 4
In addition, there are more convenient places where the ICQ history can be stored permanently. In this case, you can view the history of messages while at any computer or laptop. For this, there are paid Internet services for storing icq messages. To be able to read the message history, you need to register on one of these sites. If you need to view the history, you need to log in to this site, and you will receive a complete history of your icq-correspondence.
