windows95isg8 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Yer I have it, under C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft (My Messenger folder there is 8.02GB's) It takes the **** really I think it is there because of the new shareing folder. I say that because you can see in the screen-shot the folder info says 'activesharingfolder.dat' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
