I must refer you to Mr. Kay on this as what you're saying isn't making any
sense to me. In other words I don't think that the history of the chat is
stored ANYWHERE unless the option is selected within the MSN application
itself or by using a third party utility. Then, if it's turned on, it will
show you inside the application where it's stored or allow you to store it
elsewhere if you'd like. If it was stored in this TFR18.dat file as you
suggest I think that Google would spit something out about it and the
privacy advocates would be up in arms ranting about how MS is spying on
them. As for being the admin you could more easily capture the information
if it's being passed through an in-house server if that's what your boss
would rather do. Out of respect to the employees it would be nice (though
it's not required by law I don't believe) to inform them that they're being
monitored. Other than that I'm pretty sure you're not going to get the chat
history from any such dat file unless this is a third party application and
in that case you'd have to read their help files or at least tell us what
this application is.
