In XP go to Documents and Settings>Your User Folder>Local Settings>Application Data>Google>Google Talk>chatlogs

Problem is that they're encrypted.

Has anyone worked out what method of encryption is used? It'd be very handy to decrypt it so that they could be viewed for reference, like MSN Messenger's logs (they are XML).

Download 'Decode Chat History' at http://www.customizetalk.com/pages/index.php?page=downloads. The sourcecode is published in the forums.

The GTalk history files are not encrypted. They are in a JABBER format, which is similar to HTML, and XML except that the control characters are represented in hexadecimal format.

Try the Decode chat history listed above as a place to start. Or you can open the log file is Notepad and then search for the hexadecimal values and replace them with the ASCII equivalent. The log file is a lot easier to read that way.

In order to do this you'll need to know that the hex control characters start with % and include the 2 characters that immediately follow where the hex value is actually just the two characters (no%).

You'll also need a means to translate that hex value into its corresponding ASCII value. this is usually in the form of an ASCII conversion table. One can be found at http://www.lookuptables.com.

Does anyone know what the filenaming convention is for GTalk chat logs?

Specifically, what does the hex value at the beginning of the file represent?

Then I suggest you open Windows Explorer and search your hard drive for:

"*[your gmail username]*.log", in my case I used "*pndfam05*.log" with no quotes.

Please let me know where you find your files.

If you have none then perhaps you've not set GTalk to save chat.
