Our ICQ correspondence sometimes, apart from careless chatter, contains some valuable information. Usually it is lost from sight behind many short remarks, and over time it is forgotten. But then the moment comes when you need to remember an important detail: the time of the meeting, the phone number, the name or the address that they wrote to you the day before yesterday. The only way out is to revive the dialogue of that time. To do this correctly, you need to know some of the features of the ICQ archive.
Necessary
- Computer
- Internet connection
- Installed ICQ
Instructions
Step 1
How to open the archive (history) of correspondence in ICQ in three ways.
Method one.
Open the program window. Enter the Menu, select History. The chat history window will open at the last dialogue.
Step 2
Method two.
Open the program window. Find the desired nickname in the contact list. Right-click on it and select History from the menu. The same window will open as in the first method, but not on the last dialog, but on the dialog with the selected contact.
Step 3
Method three.
Open a dialogue with the desired contact.
In the upper part of the chat window, next to the avatar of the interlocutor, where the buttons are located, find the button with the letter H (History). Click on it - a correspondence window with this contact will open.
Step 4
How to manage the archive.
You can quickly search in the history window. In the main part of the window there is a word search field. For example, enter the word "many" and click the Search button: replicas from dialogs containing this word will appear below.
Step 5
On the left side of the history window, there is a quick search for a contact. Start typing the name you are looking for (nickname) in the field, meanwhile the records will be sorted below. When you find the name you want, click on it 2 times to open its archive.
Step 6
Archive management.
In the upper right corner of the History window there are 3 buttons for managing messages from the archive: green semicircular arrow - content update; floppy disk - save as a text document; tank - remove. The freestanding calendar button allows you to search from a specific date.
Step 7
History settings.
In the lower right part of the window there is an inscription “History settings”. Click on it, the correspondence parameters will open. On the left, in the menu, click History, its settings will be displayed. Put a tick in the list next to those items that you consider the most significant and would like to see in the archive.
If you are afraid of outside interference, then do not save the history of the correspondence. Uncheck the "Save history" line. If you want to save dialogs with certain persons, click "Assign for contacts". A 2-part list will open. On the left - saved ones, on the right - unsaved ones. Move the desired contacts from column to column using the arrows. Then click OK.
