Google Talk History

“Are Google talk conversations stored by the program somewhere on the computer like Cookies folder or Temp files?? If yes where are they stored?”

Google Talk does have a “Chat History” where it will save your chat messages, but you will need to enable this feature first in Google Talk “Settings”. You can then have all your chat messages saved in your Gmail account where it can be search-able. You can also easily delete these chat messages as well just like any other type of mail.

Google Talk does not store chat messages on your computer by default but if you use third party chat clients to chat there are no guarantee’s that it’s not being saved somewhere locally on your computer. Here’s what Google says about this issue:

“Unfortunately not. People can choose to access Google Talk using a variety of third party clients and some clients save chats locally to the users’ computers. We can only guarantee that when you go off the record, the chat history is not being automatically saved or made searchable in either person’s Gmail account. We can’t guarantee what the other person is doing, since, as is the case for all chats, the other person could always be cutting and pasting, and saving the contents of the chat elsewhere.”
