Yahoo! Messenger Archive Location in Vista

Yahoo! Messenger Archive Location in Vista

Backing up Yahoo! Messenger's message archive is a task I do every so often. Since I switched to Vista, I've been unable to figure out where the log files have gone. Surely, It's no longer under Y!M's installation directory.

In Windows XP, the location of the log files (.dat) is typically as follows, unless the installation directory was changed:

C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Profiles\

In Windows Vista, the new location of the log files have been moved to the user's AppData directory:


C:\Users\\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Profiles\
