Use netscape\n\nAOL is disgusting like walmart connect. It overcharges and unless you cancel by phone they'll start charging your creditcard, even if you dont use the aol trial anymore.

I don't believe it is possible with AIM. But a number of the third-party IM clients do let you display prior conversations.   Personally I use Trillian, but I hear there are other good ones, too.

well if your using Internet Explorer, go to tool than internet options, look for history and press Clear history. that should do it if you use an AOL browser press clear all footprint, but im not sure what browser your using so it would help if you told that.

Another dissatisfied AOL customer.  I'm not surprised.\n\n1.  Go to the AOL site and go to customer support or the like.  You'll probably have to do a little searching because they don't like to let paying customers leave.  Be firm once you get to someone in AOL 'cause they are going to try to convince you to stay with them.  Once you cancel your membership account follow what I've written for step 2.\n\n2.  GETTING RID OF AOL ON YOUR PC\n\nDo yourself a BIG favor. Remove anything on your PC that even mentions AOL. It is a resource hog and simply tries to take over your pc.\n\nClick on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove any AOL programs residing there.\n\nNow click on Start > Search > For Files or Folders > All Files and Folders\ntype in AOL in the top box and let the computer do a complete search of your hard drive. When it is done, click on Edit at the top of the window and click on Select All\nThen click on File and click on Delete. It will ask you if you want to remove them. Click on Yes.\n\nIf you want to REALLY finish the job:\n\nNOTE: DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE IN THE REGISTRY OTHER THAN WHAT I MENTION HERE. If you are not familiar with editing the registry and you do other things you may give yourself some big headaches.\n\nClick on Start > Run >\ntype in regedit\nclick once on the very top directory to hilite it.\nHold down Ctrl + F; this will open a search window\ntype in AOL and then click on Find Next\nwhen it finds an AOL entry, right click on it and select Delete and yes. (Do this if it is a folder in the left hand pane or if it is an entry in the right hand pane)\nHold down Ctrl + F again and repeat the process until you have cleaned your registry of all AOL items. This may be a very tedious process so hang in there.\n\nWhen you think you have it all out. Go back up to the top directory in the left pane, hilite it, and search for AOL once again just to make sure you didn't miss any.\n\nOnce you are completely done. Reboot your PC. This will reset the registry without all the AOL crap. Now you should be able to reset your home page without any problems.

you need your own computer.  if you have this already, then setup password protect on your account.  then lock your computer when you're not using it.  your messenger conversations are saved on your computer, you can delete the history of the conversation, not through internet options though.

The possiblities for restricting them are complicated...with the easiest ways being the most costly. A service like AOL comes with it's own browser and parental settings that make it easy to restrict certain content. However, they (your family) still have the option to use another browser to circumvent the Parental Controls....\n\nNow, monitoring them is easy, and free. With your Internet Explorer window open, click VIEW, top left. Then select EXPLORER BAR, then HISTORY. A window will open on the left portion of the screen. In it you will find complete lists of all the pages viewed in order by day.\n\nI'm no expert but I hope these few things help you with your concerns. You may try also keeping open communication between you and them about where they go online and what they do with the time!\n\nPeace

msn.com or aol.com earthlink has a good chatroom. It is your main websites that have all of the good chatrooms. Personally, I DON'T recommend aol,their service is horrible and the chatrooms suck too

there is no way to get your convos back unless you were using an add on like aim mutation, dead aim, trillian or 3rd part chat clients because only those usually keep records of convos. If your really lucky maybe you can have an expert search your computer and maybe he could find a key logger and open it but dont get your hopes up. Sorry for your loss

Do u have the archives on? If you do.. all ur messages are stored there. You can set the limit as to the number of days u want them to be stored.

I would advise downloading Trillian. It's an instant messaging client that is built up on AIM, Yahoo!, MSN, ICQ, etc. You don't have to have an account in all of them.\nAs long as you have an account in at least one of those instant messaging clients and use your screenname, ID, whatever on Trillian, then all your online conversations and offline messages will be saved indefenitely or otherwise specified by you.\n\nGo to www.trillian.cc and download trillian basic 3, if you want it, it's free. You have to pay for the pro version, which has all this other stuff like IRC, Jabber, etc, and the ability to rewind and fast forward yuor video messages.\n\nOtherwise just get Yahoo! Messenger since you already have a Yahoo! ID. It'll do the same thing as Trillian except only for your Yahoo! Messenger conversations and offline messages.

I am using msn ver 7.5, and you can find it similar in other version:\n\n1. Tools > options\n2. Select Message\n3. Uncheck "Automatically keep a history of my conversations"\n4. By default, all previous conversation would be saved in C:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;[user name]&#92;My Documents&#92;My Received Files&#92;[some random name]&#92;History. You might wanna check and delete them, if you wish.\n\nHope it helps...
