MSN User History Viewer

MSN User History Viewer provides a small group of users with an application software that want to open up their MSN history files for reading. With MSN User History Viewer, you do not only get a program that can do that, but one that can also help you view XML files in general.

In fact, you cannot be sure what you really get with MSN User History Viewer, as it clearly sends out signals telling you that it is only a XML viewer rather than a specialized software that can somehow decrypt your MSN user history files. First things first, though, MSN User History Viewer does not help you find your history files.

Although entitled MSN User History Viewer, this particular piece of software does not make it easy for you to pinpoint the location of the files you want to open up in case you want to view their contents. This is the first indication that MSN User History Viewer is not what its developers say it is, thus anything from now on is a bit, if not totally ambiguous.

If the average user does not know the fact that MSN Messenger stores its history within XML files, then how can they be aware of the location of these files? Leaving this aside, although it may be the most important aspect of the application, once you find a source to learn of the folder which beholds these files, you can load it up.

As a sidenote, this specific location refers to the ‘History’ folder within the ‘My Documents\ My Received Files\ [email / id + number]’ directory. Finding that out should be enough for you to open the XML files with any viewer that supports the format and be done with it.

The bottom line with MSN User History Viewer is that it is surely not the application it should be and that is really bad. Even though it opens up those XML files, something that many other computer programs can, and draws them nicely in a treeview, MSN User History Viewer is just an XML viewer falsely advertised as a history viewer for MSN Messenger users.
