Edit: Erhm.. I'm sorry for my cluelessness *hides* how should I rename those? As simple as click it and rename it? I know it couldn't be like that rite? o_o;;
first copy them to another directory; you don't wanna mess up the directory which messenger uses.
After that, yes, simply click them and rename them (or highlight them and press F2) in Windows Explorer.
To know what extension to use (PNG for static emoticons, GIF for moving ones), you best open them up in a graphics program which supports animated GIFs and PNGs. If you see them moving, they are GIFs, if you don't see any movement, they are PNGs.
Another way is to open those files in notepad (but do NOT save them with it):
- if the first few characters you see are "‰PNG" you know for sure the file is a PNG file and you must rename it with the PNG extension.
- if the first few characters you see are "GIF89a" you know for sure the file is a GIF file and you must rename it with the GIF extension.
