2013 HELP: Logs of local chat and IMs --Store

Store logs of local chat and IMs: 

-
You can  keep logs of your communications.  Here is how:

• V3.2 Preferences button (gears)
• Privacy tab
• Save nearby chat logs to my computer (Check)
• Save IM logs to my computer  (Check)
• Add timestamp to each line in chat log    (Check)

I prefer to leave the default destination file unchanged, because it seems to be common across viewers.  If they all put the logs in the same place, I don't have to wonder where to look.  You may want to copy the destination file name while you have the window open.

-
On Windows, the destination file will have the general form:   

C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife

Name will be the name the computer has for you. 

-

To find the log file on Windows,  you probably have to enable the ability to see *hidden folders*  To set that ability on Windows 7:

• Click the start button or press the windows key
• Click your personal folder
• Click organize in the top menu line
• on the drop-down, click Folder and Search options
• in the resulting window, click "Show all folders".

Once you find the file, you can create a shortcut and put it in the folder you use for other Second Life operations.  Then you don't have to find it again.
