keep winks when reinstall

[Eskimo]

I need to reinstall live messenger. I have downloaded a lot of winks and
emoticons. Will they still be there after I reinstall? Is there any way to
save them on my hardrive and then I can just put them back in the correct
place after reinstall? Thanks!!

Greetings,

If you're just reinstalling Messenger (and not Windows) it won't remove the winks or anything
else.

But, it's always good to have a backup regardless or if you are reinstalling Windows, you can
use this tool to backup all your Messenger content:

Hi,

Then you don't need to back it up.
