*.sqm ce sont des Windows Live Messenger Log File

Microsoft:
These files are typically hidden and written to the root directory of the drive. FILExt understands that the location the files are written may change in the future. Some other Microsoft products may drop these files as well.

it was from Germany web site>

will do other have these basic file type using Windows Live Messenger

will seem i found the asker to this one not 100% going to try see what happens

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disable the Customer Experience Improvement Program feature of Windows Live Messenger and the delete all the sqm files. This is another example of piss poor programming and quality control on the part of Microsoft.

Otherwise your logs are clean. How is your system running?

They blong to Live Messenger, see here for a resolution


"Figured this out with the help of a fellow nerd last night. If anyone else experiences this build up of files, it is down to Windows Live Messenger! The files are part of the Customer Experience Improvement Program and can be stopped by going to Help -> Customer Experience Improvement Program then turning the fecker off!"
