Display pictures

When I download pictures for 'display' where are they stored?

Greetings Arlene,

Your own display pictures are stored in Documents and Settings\Username\Application
Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\anumber\UserTiles. Where username is your Windows username and
anumber is the 4-byte integer representation of your e-mail address (just go through them all
if you have multiples).

Also, the files will show up as .DAT files; they are really just PNGs (openable with any
decent graphics program, including Paint).
