how to put a background in... by vaccination on 05-17-2006 at 06:34 PM
How do you put a background in the main contact list window in Windows Live Messenger?
I no you can..(well you could in MSN ) but i have forgotten
Im pretty sure that you have to go to a folder and place an image there and call it a specific name... what that name is and which folder i just cant remember.
Thanks for you help!!

Make a .gif image and name it "lvback" place the file in the MSN Messenger (WLM Messenger, or Windows Messenger which ever version your using) directory, it MUST be a GIF image.

Though the filename must be "lvback.gif", no matter what format it is.
