I've a question and I've googled for it and found no answers. People here might help.
So the question is, where does MSN messenger store those custom emotions which I've added from my friend's emotions? It's like when my friend sends an emotion that I think its cool and decides to add to my emotions, where does that GIF file goes to? I couldn't find those GIF files in msn messenger installation directory. |

why do you want to know where it's stored if you have already added it ? you can right click on the emotion your friend has sent and select copy,then you can add it to your own emotions by pasting
enjoy !!

You see, most of the emotions that I find them cool are animated gifs. Hence it cannot be done simply with copy and paste as it only resulted in having only the first frame of the animated sequence instead. I want the entire gif files with all the animations in proper conditions.
I believe after adding the emotions, those gif files will go somewhere into my computer. But I don't know where to find them. |

hi inspiron ,first of all sign out of messenger and open windows explorer and navigate to tools \folder options \view ,in the advanced settings box uncheck hide extensions for known file types ,after doing this go to c:\documents and settings \your user name \application data\microsoft\msn messenger.
there will be several folders named with numbers,these numbers are associated with the different email accounts users have logged into messenger using that pc.locate the folder associated with your email id (usually it is the first folder)and inside you will find a folder named custom emotions ,you'll see it contains files with .dat extensions , you can view these files using internet explorer , now right click and save it . cheers !!
