I have recently reinstalled my OS (onto a new hard disk drive) and I can't seem to locate where Messenger Plus has saved all the sounds (or a list of all my sounds).  Anyone point me in the right direction on how to get them back?

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Applicatin Data\Messenger Plus!\Custom Sounds\

Related question: is there a way to stop custom sounds from being saved under All Users?

I want them saved in C:\Documents and Settings\my username\Application Data\Messenger Plus!\Custom Sounds\ because I'm paranoid about security/privacy. I tried setting the CustomSoundsPrivate registry key, but apparently that has no effect on where the files are saved.

it think its saved in All Users to try and save some bandwith on the server if multiple users on the same PC use the custom sound feature, although I do think a setting to save them in personal App Data folder would be good, even if it was a hidden registry setting
