I want to start with letting all of you know that this question has probably already been anwsered.
But I searched the forum and couldnt find what I was looking for, so... I'm gonna ask it anyways.

Where is this file on XP.

messenger 6.1 and 6.2 don't use any file. Instead of that, they connect to some url and download the information about tabs from there.

If they do that, how is it possible for people to have tabs then?

messenger does no longer read a file in your computer but it connects to a web and reads the tab configuration from there. With that info, messenger display the tabs. The address of that web is "stored" inside messenger itself and you are supposed to not change it. However, as toddy said, you can install tabserve. That program will change the address that messenger will look at and instead of the original one, it'll look to another, where you can configure your own tabs (i don't know very well how it works because i've never used it, however the idea is that)
