O.P. where custom names are stored
hi, i just upgraded to msn 8 (don't ask where i got it) which happens to allow you to fill out some contact information including first and last name for each of your contacts.

however... i seem to have forgotten a couple names, and seeing as that i had already had all my contacts renamed via plus! on msn 7.5, i was wondering where i might find that information stored on my computer.

thanks in advance!

I doubt they know as it's stored in his computer, DJKAL. :P



Anyway, you can find their CN in the registry, but their emails (the keys where their information is stored) are encrypted, so you won't know where to look.

Anyway, the location in the Registry is: HKCU\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\your@email.com\Contacts

You can also use Plus! Tweak! to view this information (still, the emails will be encrypted).

Hack, hack, hack!
