This could work. Go to Skin Manager. Its a program which lets you easily apply skins. It has an orinigal skin on it but im not sure if it works for MSN 6.

Your MSN folder looks fine to me.

The only thing I can think of now is to Uninstall MSN Messenger + MSN Plus! then restart your computer then re-install them both.

I can't see why that shouldn't clear the skin completely.

Sorry I couldn't be of much help, hope ya sort it out.

..............................................YAY! its back and working fine with the original icon now. Don't know what I did but its back again.

Thanks for all your help guys

Good stuff, glad you got it sorted.

Skins can be dodgy sometimes.

If my memory dont fail me that is a Rolando skin isnt it? every skin comes with an uninstaller maybe that was the problem .. you should remove using the uninstaller not in Add/remove..

maybe im wrong

I think your right, I read on Rolando website and it is his skin, and they come with an uninstaller, that's why I metioned it to ProblemWv. But it's all sorted now that's the main thing.

nice to read that...

IMO, I think that that was a problem with the cache of icons of the Windows explorer (explorer.exe). It's known to have the cache corrupted sometimes, specially in Win98 (not so often in XP). In your case, it may have been fixed after several reboots. Anyway, it got solved, so

Add/Remove is a list of all the uninstallers

But sometimes programs come with their own uninstaller file.. that's what was meant.

Yeah the Add/Remove list is just a list that has shortcuts to all those uninstallers
EDIT: Sometimes the program doesn't register the uninstaller with Add/Remove, don't know why
