Not quite sure I get your question, but if you are looking for tools to recover facebook artifacts give Internet Evidene Finder from JADsoftware a try

http//www.jadsoftware.com/home/ief.htm

From their website

"It can currently find Facebook® live chat messages and page fragments, MSN/Windows Live Messenger® chat, Yahoo!® chat, Yahoo!® Webmail chat, Limewire®, GoogleTalk® chat, and Gmail® email."

lol

Does raise a point about students asking for help when very basic self-experimentation would give them the answers in less time than it takes than to wait for someone to reply to their homework questions.

Hmmmn tempting as that is I think I might pass D

Like Jonathan said, do some testing. I assuming if you're a student you use facebook (especially seeing as you are writing a report on it). Good place to start will be Temporary Internet Files I imagine. Do some chats with some of your friends, make sure you keep the text of it, and do some keyword searches around the text.

I'd also still look into IEF - its free so have a play to see what it comes back with. It also might help you with searches.

Try downloading process monitor (procmon.exe) from Microsoft (free) and running it while you access facebook.

Once you get a handle on the filtering it should give you lots of interesting info about what happens when you access or sign up to Facebook. Registry writes, file writes, etc…

Maybe what you need to do is create an account on Facebook, chat with some friends, and analyze the system for said artifacts.
