RE: Custom emoticons problem?
This is probably because you didn't name your emoticons and only gave them shortcuts. WLM 8.1 requires emoticons to have names. One option is to go back to 7.5 and name them all, then upgrade again....or you can try the following...
Copy the files elsewhere then rename them completely..not just change the extension. Try to add them through messenger again. If that still doesn't work exit WLM and delete "\Documents and Settings\<windows accountname>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\<ID number>\" ... restart WLM and try again.
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\<.NET passport>\ObjectStore\CustomEmoticons is the custom emoticon storage folder for WLM 8.1. You should see the files show up inthere. Each emoticon has 2 files, ID2 and DT2...to view you can doubleclick the DT2 files (opens in Windows viewer).
Note: folders i mentioned might be hidden so make sure you turn on "show hidden files/folders".
