Yes it does.

I don't know why anyone is talking about SPNG, as the 'Add...' is a feature of Messenger itself. So technically, we're in the wrong forum here.

Anyway, when you select 'Add...', Messenger recovers the files from a cache, lets you set a shortcut, and saves it as a .DAT in 'C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\<passportid>\CustomEmoticons'. To recover an image saved in this way, copy the .DAT files to another location, and change the extension to .png. Any that won't open, change the extension to .gif.
