what is the value of "Messenger.MyDisplayPicture" that I have to put.

thank's

The directory of your picture.
ex : 'Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\gnagna\\pouet.png";'

To change the picture, set it to a valid path to an image file with the backslashes escaped ("\\" instead of "\"). You cannot remove the display picture with this property.

you may be able to by modifying the registry but I haven't tried that.

what is the registry value?

WLM does not look if a value has to change in the register, then how can it be done?

thank's

The registry doesn't have anything todo with it.

Your (and your contact's) display picture is stored in a physical file on your harddisk. And there is also an index file which holds the information to which DP belongs to what person and where to find it on disk. It is this file you need to alter. However, this is far from easy as the file is encoded and encrypted.

No. I know that the display picture path is not stored in the registry. However, there is an item in preferences that says "Show my display picture and allow others to see it". Since most Messenger preference entries are saved in the registry, disabling this in the registry may be able to remove it. However, I have not checked that this registry key exists, and you'd need to find a way to refresh that entry (possibly by just setting it to another file).

As I said, that has got nothing todo with the display picture image, hence my previous post to say it hasn't...

What that option does is simply showing the DP panel in the GUI of Messenger, it does not alter in any way your DP itself.

The option is called "Show my display picture and allow others to see it"...basically this would give the effect that there is no display picture.

Like I already said 2 times before.... the registry hasn't got anything todo with altering your DP/clearing it!

I think you are interpreting my statement wrong. What I am proposing doesn't alter the DP per say, but disables it, making it seem like there is none...
