(/showthread.php?tid=88152) What defines the emoticon directory? by Davethewave on 01-06-2009 at 01:46 PM OK! So I need to know where Messenger defines the directory for emoticons as I would like to move them to another location. I understand they are located in C:\Documents and Settings\your PC username\local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\your messenger username\ObjectStore\CustomEmoticons. I require the file in which defines this as the emoticon directory so that I may change my emoticon directory. Please notify me on how I can do this. Thank you.

I think that the directories for both XP and Vista are actually inside the WLM executable itself, so you can't do anything about it, sorry :/ RE: What defines the emoticon directory? by Davethewave on 01-07-2009 at 01:19 AM well there is something, weather it be a registry entry or a configuration file, or even code within the executable, which says to look there for the emotes. All data is alterable if it can be found with hex editors and the like if needed. I was just wondering where it would be, I shall check the executable. Thanks!

ryxdp: I think he means the custom emoticons. No doubt the built-in ones are inside the executable. RE: RE: What defines the emoticon directory? by ryxdp on 01-07-2009 at 03:11 AM
quote: The ObjectStore directory is most likely either in the registry as a REG_BINARY value (I did a quick search for "ObjectStore" to see if it was just a REG_SZ), or inside the executable (i did another search in most of the files in Program Files using XVI32, but I couldn't find anything). The default emoticons are stored in msgsres.dll as a single image, not msnmsgr. RE: What defines the emoticon directory? by Davethewave on 01-07-2009 at 10:32 AM Yeah I would like only to change my custom emoticon directory, I tried hex editors and memory editors on the exe but it seems futile in my hands. Thanks for all the support! |
