Yes there is.  Actually, you can't assign the Messenger.MyDisplayPicture property with an image URL (unlike when you select your image manually within Messenger).  So if I want to dynamically use an image from the Web, I need to first save it on the disk.

Thanks all for the code, it works!  I thought that the FSO didn't work with binary files...
