go to the location where you installed the messenger and then you would find the EXE file of messenger. create a shortcut of this file on the desktop and bingo !!! you got your work done.

Well, here are some tips from me-\n1- Please, categorise your question well, if you would have placed it in the "Yahoo! Messenger" category, your problem would have been solved by now!\n\n2- If any of the dll files is missing, you can get it on the net. I think there is an online dll library, try there.\nhttp://www.dll-files.com/\n\n3- OR, Try "System Restore" to an earlier point. It can solve the problem.\n\n4- Try Yahoo! Messenger help, which is a step-by-step guide & lets you pin-point your problem\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/tech/\n\n5- Search Yahoo! Answers to see more similar problems & their solutions, some might work for you too!\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=An88.mm2z5SYnEatz2JCa.Dzy6IX?p=dll+Yahoo%21+Messenger

sure it's not in the trash.\n\nDo a search/find on the file.

Look into your "trash' folder. You should find it if you deleted soon.

Look through the sent folder, if you have one, and if it's not there (look like three times or something, cause they're easy to miss) then it's probably lost forever. If you have this problem often, I suggest g-mail. I don't have it but I hear it's really good for finding old stuff (I still like yahoo best though.)

OK..ready?..C/program files/Yahoo/Messenger/profiles/your screen name/Archive/messages...this will give you a list but you will have to do a bit more work to be able to read them

yes, tools like Norton SYStem works and Ghost help recover these files. you can also use knoppix live to looks for these files, if you orginally knew where they were located.

yes.. your buddy lists should be stored remotely on the server.. depending on what chat client you're using will determine where the logs are located..\n\nI would check both the c:&#92;program files&#92;messenger program&#92; directory (look for a subdirectory called logs) or it might be hidden in a hidden folder in the user directory.\n\nopen windows explorer (double click on your c: drive icon)\nthen open tools--> options and enable "show hidden files and folders"\n\nthen go to c:&#92;documents and settings&#92;username&#92;application data&#92; and look around for a directory associated with your messenger program.. in one of these two places you'll find the logs...

I happened to suffer from the same problem as you are. While discussing with a fellow researcher on Yahoo messenger, we exchanged some mathematical formulas and some ideas. By mistake i cleared the yahoo messgae archive by clicking on the button accidently. The archive was of huge importance to me. I followed the following steps :\n\n(1) Kept my computer open without fiddling with it\n(2) Changed the internet explorer cache folder to a different partition.\n(3) Downloaded Stellar Phonix recovery manager. I use it because you don't need to install it, which could over write files on your hard disk.\n(4) Searched for the deleted files and found the archive file of yahoo messenger. Their extension is .dat\n(5) Recovered the files and put them back in their directory\n\nIts working as on now.

Hi There,\nIf you open another window, and click save as, it will save to the same folder as the last item saved. I would suggest that that may be the best way to find where your lost file is. Otherwise, you'll have to click start-->search-->for files and folders.\n\nGood luck\nEric

they are saved on the pc you access msn from. try goto c:&#92; prog. files, msn messenger, profiles...and see if you msg archive is there. i think you can also specify where to save them at on msn msger.

If you are using Yahoo Messanger then it stores the messages in the above path.\n\n"C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo&#92;Messenger&#92;Profiles"\n\nNote: This is the default path where yahoo messenger Installs.
