Greetings,

No there isn't any folder containing any emotions or display pcs. The only
way you can aquire these is to "hack" the MSN Messenger program with a
program like Resource Hacker or Resource Tuner. You'll be able to extract
the images from there.

* I DON'T RECOMMEND YOU TO USE THIS PROGRAM * This can corrupt your version
of MSN Messenger.

Thanks and best of luck!

Hi,

Custom Emoticons and *all* Display Pictures (including the built-in ones) are within folders
and can be backed up; there's no need for hacking the resources.

Greetings Snake,

Yes you certainly can. To back them up, you'll simply need to backup the folders that
contain them by clicking Start, then Run, type:
%appdata%\Microsoft\MSN Messenger
and click OK.

You'll be presented with a folder or folders with various numbers, each of these folders will
denote a Passport that has signed in and contained within each folder will be an
CustomEmoticons folder.

Alternatively, you can use an application to do this for you. See he

Problem though, What sort of Program is this Backup Emoticon/Display pics thing anyway .. i mean there is no Privacy what so eva, As this is a shared computer and i do not want other users of this computer to see my Display pics etc .. and they can just type my e-mail in and they see it all, You should have to type an e-mail and password in order to back up everything, or is there a way ?
