O.P. Backing up Contact Information Notes in Messenger Plus

I am going to do a re-format/re-install of windows. I see Messenger Plus has a good feature to back up preferences settings (thanks for that). Does this include BACKING UP OF CONTACT INFORMATION NOTES?? (i.e. the stuff you can type in under contact information window like thier name b-day siblings etc).

I know I can back up e-mail address's under general MSN but I dont need that, I need the Messenger Plus notes that I made for each contact in the contact information window.

If the backup feature will back this info up then great... if not is their a file that all these personal notes are stored in? If so, what is the notes file called? And can I back that up and just put back in the new Messenger Plus directory when I re-install windows?

Thanks
Tom

Yes.

Everything in Messenger Plus! is saved and will be taken over in a backup.

The notes (just as all the preferences, settings and what not) are stored in the registry. Nothing is saved in files.

- All the stuff from Messenger Plus!, like settings and all, can be found under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2
Everything under that key is saved with the import/export settings wizard...

- The notes you're talking about are stored in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\<YourLoginEmail>\Contacts\<ContactHash>\Notes

- General stuff (which is only used by Plus! itself internally) is stored under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Patchou\MsgPlus2
