where custom names are stored by darkzerox on 12-31-2005 at 09:26 PM
hi, i just upgraded to msn 8 (don't ask where i got it) which happens to allow you to fill out some contact information including first and last name for each of your contacts.
however... i seem to have forgotten a couple names, and seeing as that i had already had all my contacts renamed via plus! on msn 7.5, i was wondering where i might find that information stored on my computer.
thanks in advance!

Anyway, you can find their CN in the registry, but their emails (the keys where their information is stored) are encrypted, so you won't know where to look.
Anyway, the location in the Registry is: HKCU\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\your@email.com\Contacts
You can also use Plus! Tweak! to view this information (still, the emails will be encrypted).
