Yes, but read the post carefully and in context...

I said they are JPGs, PNGs or GIFs. So, it might be that the image you're trying to open is a GIF.

Also note that that post has been made 5 years ago. So, I talked about normal display pictures which you can find in the UserTile subdirectory. Thus not about the new deluxe display pictures which you will find in the DeluxeDisplayPictures subdirectory.

The new deluxe display pictures which you will find in the DeluxeDisplayPictures subdirectory are, just like Winks, Microsoft Cab Files (MSCF) which consist internally of an XML index file (indexing the states it can show), the main Shockwave Flash file, and a PNG thumbnail representation. The normal extension of these archives is CAB and you can open them with any archiving program which supports MS-CAB files (eg: WinRAR).

PS:
The Winks are actually also MS-CAB files (CAB).
The CustomEmoticons are actually PNGs (PNG) or GIFs (GIF).
The new Dynamic Backgrounds are actually MS-CAB files (CAB).
The new Scenes are actually JPGs (JPG) or PNGs (PNG).
The new Signature Sounds are actually Windows Media Audio files (WMA).

- If you cant be bothered to rename all the temp cached avatars, copy them to a blank folder, creating a dummy MS-DOS BAT file and type: -

ren *.*   *.png

and save it as a *.bat (you cant use the asterix, just call it whatever you want - its not relevant, however do remember that when you do this, it will also rename the batch file).

- This is lazy coding, but im sure you dont need to worry about error checking for something so trivial.

the Bat thingy, working perfectly with me, I tried to find a Cach explorer but I couldnt find one

and there is not even a messenger plus to do this.

So i copied the messengercache folder to my desktop

installed that bat fild within them, and run it.

It will make all the images .png, and with ACDSEE I can view all the contents normally.
