RE: Where are MSN backgrounds stored?
They are stored here:

quote:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your User\Application Data\Microsoft\Msn Messenger\User ID\Background

Your User is the name of the logged in user and User ID is a 64 bit hash of your .NET Passport

If  you want to work out your user ID you can use one of these:

Once you get to that folder you will notice a bunch of files that end in .bin (they looked liked T34DF.bin), all you need to do is
right click -> Open With -> Paint

and then in paint you will be able to choose save as.
