A problem with importing from Windows user to other by Eksh on 01-11-2009 at 12:35 AM
Hi all
Ive re-installed my windows,so I have a new user (The old one stll exists),and I when I log in to MSN Messenger (8.1,Same MSN user I used in my old Windows account) All of my avatars and emoticons are gone,and same for binds,sounds etc. Ive tried to copy the Microsoft/MSN Messenger Folder to my new user's folder,but it didnt change anything... So my question is,how can I import all of my avatars,emoticons,sounds,binds etc from a windows user to another?
Thanks in advance!

C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\[e-mail address]\ObjectStore
that is where messenger stores its emoticons
as long as the old folder exists you might be able to copy it into the same place in your new username and have your icons show up
