    Every time I run iChat, it creates a folder called "iChats" in my Documents.. it's kind of annoying because with Leopard it just sits there infront of the stack. Is there a way to keep iChat from creating this folder?

    Thanks!

    That is where it saves your chat transcripts. Just go to your preferences by pressing command-comma, and then go to the messages tab, if you don't want transcripts, deselect 'automatically save chat transcripts to', or if you want the logs, then click the drop-down menu and select where you want it stored.

    Thanks 00fez, it worked :)

    I had to move the folder somewhere else and turn off the automatically save chat transcripts option.
