yup, i was wondering this my self at one time or another here's the folder where they are located:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\your@email.com\ObjectStore\CustomEmoticons

, i'm using WLM 8.1 Beta so there are a whole bunch of ".idx" files and ".dt2" files, change the ".dt2" files into .gif files and you will see them, but you'd want to copy these out of that directory, otherwise they'll be unusable in MSN/WLM

hope that helps, PM me if you need help

Okay, till here

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\your@email.com\

But doesn't seem to be having any other files, beside contacts, sharing folder, and Sharingmetdata

I didn't know that you could back up your emoticons. If I had known I would of backed mine up as I have just wiped my system, due to something that was causing it to run slow.

nvm I can easily earn them back off friends!

monkey91-what version of MSN/WLM are you running? just for kicks

Its hard, cos they are stored as .dat files. Really just .gif / .jpg files, but some aren't.

But if you gota .dat reader, which are free, you could extract the information.

 

[Chris Z]

oh ya that's right!!! i forgot they're .dat files in earlier versions, so all you do is right click on them and click rename and change the extenstion from ".dat" to ".gif"

 

[Brandon]

btu Chris .dat is way different the .gif...so how do you know that would work

*goes to oldversion.com*

lets test that out

 

[Chris Z]

i know, cuz i did it when they were .dat, just don't do anything with the index.dat cuz there ain't no gfx in there

Ur hurting me..istalling windows 98 se on virtual pc...to get MSN Messanger 1.0 installed...http://www.oldapps.com/download.php?file=msn messenger 1.0.exe

i think there's a program to backup your emoticons in WML...

it's MSN BackUp V1.1.9
try this link http://www.baisoft.it/msnbackup_english.asp

 

[Micro]

Or copy and paste this into notepad, save it as renameemote.bat and paste this code in

@echo off
echo renaming emoticons...
copy *.dat *.gif
echo done...
pause

(Place that in the directory and it will convert dat to gifs)

 

[Chris Z]

nice, lol for those of you with like a million custom emoticons or those who are just too lazy to do it themselves, but i agree, it's much easier typing that little bit of code in to do it all for you

 

[Brandon]

Sound good.
