O.P. Moving Emotes, saving emotes... etc
I have a friend who is changing comps and wants to save her smileys, emoticons whatever you want to call them.

I have used Messenger Plus for awhile and remember coming across something that saves all the smileys despite computer change. How can she download it? I had her download MSGPLUS to do it.

Try MSN Backup
It has nothing to do with Plus! but it should do the trick

Well I was going to recommend MSNBackUp (well, you can try it) but I just learnt that:

So the only way you can do it is to go to the location that your emoticons are saved. They are all saved as .TFR files, so you're going to have to rename them all to .PNG, then transfer them to the new computer and add them. That's the only way I know of.

for XP, Win2k, NT:
\Documents and Settings\<windows accountname>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\<your_msn_id_number>\
for 9x (with profiles):
\WINDOWS\Profiles\<windows accountname>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger
for 9x (without profiles):
\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger

So all you need to do is to copy, save and rename those files to .PNG and you can add them again with MSN Messenger.

So instead of:
Saved CE/DP/BG's => Open another messenger => send to original account => Use CE/DP stealer => copy and add them again to MSN

Just do:
saved CE/DP/BG's => copy and add them again to MSN

My friend done something similar today, made a new WLM account so she needed to transfer everything. Tried copy and pasting the folder to her new email address but didn't work, so she sent me the emoticons she wanted, I added them all, then she signed into her new account and I sent them to her.
