well you can't.. it seems the messenger has some kind of DB or file that
organize the emotion icons. as you can see it saves the icons as *.dt2
files.. and the filenames are very randomized.. so somewhere in the
messenger.. it must has a list of pointers that translates your shortcut name
into the path/filename. I haven't found that file/DB yet.
if it is a textfile I where can easily access.. it will solve partly my
problem. I can then add/remove icons easily
what we can do so far.. we can copy that folder as a backup.. i'm not sure
if it is becuase I am using the windows live messenger Beta version...
I have noticed that If I log into my messenger with an another account.. I
can't add the same emotion icons into the new accuont. The messenger says
that the emotion icon is already being used?!??!?!!!!!!
