Microsoft Vista by Kally on 08-13-2007 at 03:25 AM

I'm not familiar with Vista and I have the Vista Home Edition.  I would like to know where my custom emotions are stored - I don't know in which file or folder to look for them because I'm not familiar with Vista and it's not the same as the Windows XP Professional that I had previously.

Thank you.

Greetings,

Press the Start button and type the following:
%appdata%\..\local\microsoft\messenger
and press Enter.

Then double-click your Windows Live ID e-mail address, then ObjectStore, and there you'll find your CustomEmoticons folder.

This assumes you're using Windows Live Messenger 8.1 or 8.5 (which you should be on Vista).

Am I supposed to type something where you have indicated the two dots (..)?  It does not seem to find this.

Thanks.

.. means to go back like C:\WINDOWS\.. would go to C:\
try
%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\<your email address here>\ObjectStore\
