Can anyone help me with a question that does not relate to excel
programming?

My friend is about to go through a divorce because he caught his wife with
someone else.

I want to help him look for chat files on his computer, what file
extensions are associated with chat?

Thanks for helping.

most instant message files are save as *.htm, the best way to do is pull
up a chat window and select file then select open chat, and that will go
to the last place something was saved, or search the whole computer for
htm files, what chat system is it i.e. aol, aim, windows messenger..
another place to look is "C:\Documents and Setting\[user name]\local
settings\" and check out the history folder, temp folder, and temporary
internet folder, those always show good traces of what they've been up
to, also you can download key spy's from the internet that will log
every key stroke she does

There must be a good 'alt' newsgroup or two for this topic...
