O.P. Emoticon Pathnames
Where do the emoticons I add from my contacts get saved to on my computer?

RE: Emoticon Pathnames
They are stored in a hidden folder here:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your User\Application Data\Msn Messenger\Your User ID\CustomEmoticons

They are named as *.bin files, but they are actually either *.png or *.gif files, so simply rename them from things such as "smiley1.bin" to "smiley1.png" or "smiley1.gif". :)

Is it just me or are they *.dat instead of *.bin? :-/
