RE: Autosave Photosharing files
Just tested using WLM 14.0.8117 on Windows Vista and the images got stored with a random filename in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\MessengerCache".

Two images get created; a small one which is what you see down the side of the window in the "select photo" area, and the bigger image which you see in the conversation itself.

You can copy these files somewhere else and give them the right file extension to save them permanently, and it's possible to do this using a script, though you'd have to run it manually by entering a command or clicking a menu item - I'm not sure if it's possible to get it to run automatically when a photo sharing invite is accepted.

The only problem with the above is that the folder also gets used to store other things, such as display pictures, so you'd need to either look at all the pictures and select the right one, or find some other way of determining which files are the ones created by photo sharing.

There is also a folder at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Messenger\<your email>\ObjectStore\Photoshare which gets queried when photo sharing is started, but as far as I can tell, this just stores images that you share and not images sent to you...
