(/showthread.php?tid=88152) What defines the emoticon directory? by Davethewave on 01-06-2009 at 01:46 PM OK! So I need to know where Messenger defines the directory for emoticons as I would like to move them to another location. I understand they are located in C:\Documents and Settings\your PC username\local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\your messenger username\ObjectStore\CustomEmoticons. I require the file in which defines this as the emoticon directory so that I may change my emoticon directory. Please notify me on how I can do this. Thank you.

I think that the directories for both XP and Vista are actually inside the WLM executable itself, so you can't do anything about it, sorry :/ RE: What defines the emoticon directory? by Davethewave on 01-07-2009 at 01:19 AM
well there is something, weather it be a registry entry or a configuration file, or even code within the executable, which says to look there for the emotes. All data is alterable if it can be found RE: What defines the emoticon directory? by Baggins on 01-07-2009 at 02:27 AM
ryxdp: I think he means the custom emoticons. No doubt the built-in ones are inside the executable. RE: RE: What defines the emoticon directory? by ryxdp on 01-07-2009 at 03:11 AM
quote: The ObjectStore directory is most likely either in the registry as a REG_BINARY value (I did a quick search for "ObjectStore" to see if it was just a REG_SZ), or inside the executable (i did another search in most of the files in Program Files using XVI32, but I couldn't find anything). The default emoticons are stored in msgsres.dll as a single image, not msnmsgr. RE: What defines the emoticon directory? by Davethewave on 01-07-2009 at 10:32 AM Yeah I would like only to change my custom emoticon directory, I tried hex editors and memory editors on the exe but it seems futile in my hands. Thanks for all the support! |
