If you have Windows Live Messenger then you can set it to save messages. Windows Live Messenger/Tools/Options/Messages/Message History It will save them wherever you tell it to, the default is something like this location. C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAMExxxx\My Documents\My Received Files\USERNAMExxxx1196264977\History Upvote 0 Downvote
