RE: Prevent people stealing your emoticons
When they are added from a package, the way the package is made determines if they can be added or not by right-click.

However, they ARE stored unprotected in the Messenger Cache, and so it is very easy to retrieve them.

In short, there's no real way :P

Your emoticons or others?
1)Yours
a)WLM 8.0 or below - Documents and Settings\{COMPUTER USER}\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\{USERID}\CustomEmoticons. These are gif/png's stored with an extension of .dat
b)WLM 8.1 and above - Documents and Settings\{COMPUTER USER}\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\{EMAIL}\ObjectStore\CustomEmoticons. These are gis/png's stored with the extension of .dt2 or .id2
2) Others - (%temp%\MessengerCache) These are saved once you've recieved them. Cannot be saved before that.
