How to Recover AIM Logs
AIM stands for "AOL Instant Messenger." It is a program that lets you communicate in real time by typing with another friend online. If you closed out the conversation box you had with a friend and want to recover a record of that conversation, do so by opening the AIM chat logs with a tool from inside of the AIM program. This lets you read a record of the chat at your leisure.
