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.

No, it can be any format which Windows nativly supports (this inlcudes png's, gif's, jpg's, wmf's, tif's, bmp's, dib's, ico's, rle's, etc etc etc)...

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