Can I get an archive back on Yahoo Messenger?

Can I get my yahoo messenger archive of conversations from a computer other than the one I normally use?

  • Answer:

    archives are encrypted and stored as .dat files on the computer from which the conversation originated at... C:\ Program Files\ Yahoo!\ Messenger\ Profiles \yahoo ID \ Archive\ Messages if archiving was enabled prior to the conversation Messenger > Preferences select the category Archive (left hand side) make sure Yes, save all my message is selected hit Apply, hit OK and you still have access to the computer, simply grab the .dat file/s that you need (you can email these or file transfer etc) and paste them directly into your current archive directory on your main computer. You will need to take care if the imported archive has the same date as a current .dat file as it will overwrite
