RE: Where r they?
i think you refering to the custom smiley's ?

%temp%\MessengerCache is the directory where your contact's CE's and DP's are stored/cached.

(where %temp% is your Temporary Files directory in Windows)

And i think that's also the place where it stores your CE's

Did you checked this ? because Cookie's reply was based on msn7.5 or below, and i think WLM has changed this, But i cannot check this now because i'm at work. Will check it when i get home.
And i will modify or remove this post if 1 i found the anwser or 2 one of the 2 locations is confirmed.

Greetz,

Simple me
I looked inthere and found .dat files from before WLM and after installing WLM. So unless WLM acts differently when you don't uninstall MSN 7.5 before installing, this seems correct to me ;)

Here's a list of the folders in C:\Documents and Settings\<account name>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\<passport ID>*\

Listing inside CustomEmoticons folder:

Also checked if i still truly have those emotes inside WLM.


P.S. I always check before posting...good thing you doublecheck tho ;)

Copy and paste the .dat to another folder then rename them with extension .png ;) Do not rename or edit them in the original folder..also do not place them back inthere (renamed back to .dat).

I think that's what you are asking. Could you please put english translation with it aswell?
