Now that you have the MessengerContent folder on the new computer or the USB thumb drive, it is time to have Messenger on that computer use this content.
1. Exit Messenger.
2. Open a command prompt using the same steps described in Step 2 above.
3. In the command prompt window, change to the location where your Messenger content is stored. (ex. USB thumb drive).
4. In the command prompt window, type xcopy /s *.* %userprofile%\Local Settings\Microsoft\Messenger\<Windows Live ID>\ObjectStore” and press Enter.
5. Restart Windows Live Messenger and sign in.
That is it. It is a little tricky, but very doable.

was kinda hoping there was some program that just does all this lol.
