Seeking Jonathon Kay's assistance about Messenger emoticons

Hi Jonathon,

I notice from other peoples' comments that you are thought to be somewhat of
an authority on Messenger. Wonder if you can possibly help.....
I had a number of custom emoticons that were working perfectly well on one of
my messenger accounts.....until I was stupid enough to think that I could
copy them to another account from behind the scenes. I tried to copy and
paste these emoticons from one MSN Messenger/customemoticons folder to
another. Now they won't work on either of my messenger logins. Does anybody
know how I can recover these? I still have all of the emoticon files and the
original map.dat file but nothing is visible on the messenger emoticon menu.
TIA. Nigel.

Hey, we all know that Jonathan is the MSN king... but
give someone else a chance to help :-)

Hi,

May want to move the original map.dat and restore the original folder as it was before using
the backup tool.
