LCSMessengerHistory Helper App

If you're unlucky enough to still be running MS Office Communicator 2005, you know the pain of not having any kind of automatic conversation logging ability. Sure, you have the manual option of saving an individual conversation to an RTF file or emailing it to yourself, but who wants to remember to do that every time?

Luckily there's a free open-source helper app from Darrin M. Gorski called LCSMessengerHistory that fills this void. The great part is that even if you don't think it works exactly like it should - just grab the source and tailor it to your liking.

While it's not exactly "integrated" with Communicator - meaning it basically just runs along-side Communicator - it still works great.

Couple this with Windows Desktop Search 4.0 to index all those saved conversations and you'll have instant searchable access to all your past conversations.

* It should be noted that MS Office Communicator 2007 has a built-in Conversation History logging feature that creates a folder within Outlook and stores your conversations there.
