Its not extremely important for me to open these files, just curiousity has now gotten the best of me!! I can read them while on yahoo and go to message archives, its once they have been deleted and i restored them from recycle bin, then use windows explorer and go to yahoo/messenger/profiles/messages/archives that they can't be read. I know it seems trite, but who would have thought it would be this dificult to read an unimportant file like this?? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanx in advance,
Terri
