Hi

Just wondering if there is a way of backing up my custom emoticons etc so
that when i reinstall i can restore them. Is it as simple as copying files
from whereever they are stored out and back again or is there an easier way.

Thanks.

Colin

Try the MSN Backup utility.
Works great for me.

Greetings Colin,

If you copy the files it won't work. You need to use this utility on both the old
configuration (to get the files) and the new (to put them back):
