RE: RE: re-name display pics?
Thanks for displaying the locations of all the MSN Messenger items.  Question I have is where is all this on Vista?

The directory you're looking for is the same that holds the configcache.xml (obsolete now):

for XP, Win2k, NT:
\Documents and Settings\<windows accountname>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\<that ID number thingie>\
for 9x (with profiles):
\WINDOWS\Profiles\<windows accountname>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger
for 9x (without profiles):
\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger

In that directory you'll find 3 subdirectories:
* Backgrounds
you'll find all your backgrounds here.
There named like TFR<number>.tmp
but actually they are just JPG's with the extension renamed...

* CustomEmoticons
you'll find all your custom emoticons here.
There named like TFR<number>.tmp or TFR<number>.dat
but actually they are just PNG's with the extension renamed...

* UserTile
you'll find all your display pictures here.
There named like TFR<number>.tmp or TFR<number>.dat
but actually they are just PNG's with the extension renamed...

(The renaming: I refered to this a couple of times on the forums already, messenger converts every emoticon or display picture to a PNG... --> also see the threads about animated GIF's in display pictures or custom animated emoticons)

Old thread that mentioned this already:

the <that ID number thingie>-Info about that can be found again on the forums:
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=15519
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=15...d=132217#pid132217
What if I don't see that directory? I'm looking for the emoticons, but I can't seem to find "application data"
