Move emoticons from one computer to another

I have a new computer on which I have installed Live Messenger. I'd like to
take with me all the emoticons I have been collecting through years, but they
seem to be stored on the old computer and not on the Live Messenger server.
How can I identify these among all the Messenger/Windows files on the old pc
to move them to the new pc?

Greetings,

Assuming you're using 8.1 or 8.5 of Live Messenger, this is quite easy to transfer. Which
Windows version are you using?

Hi

I am running MSN version 8.5 on my old laptop (xp).
I have just purchased a new one (vista) and id like to transfer the emoticons, winks etc etc from my old on to the new, is this possible, and if so HOW?

thanks

Mark

Greetings Mark,

This is actually pretty easy. With Messenger shut down, just head over to the following
folder on XP:
\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger

Then copy the contents of this folder over to the following folder on Vista:
\Users\username\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Messenger

(if you've not signed into Messenger yet on Vista, feel free to create this Messenger folder
on your own).

Note that username is your Windows username. Additionally, some of these folders will be
hidden by default, to see them simply press the Alt key on the keyboard in any Windows
Explorer window to bring up the menu bar, click Tools, then Folder Options, then the View
tab, and then choose 'Show hidden files and folders'. After clicking OK, they should appear
with the other folders. This goes for both Windows versions.

After this, just sign into Messenger on Vista (after installing it of course) and all your
content should be there.

Greetings,

To avoid a lengthy post (and to be honest, I'm really tired), what version of MSN Messenger
is on the Windows 98 machine? You can quickly check by just clicking Help, and then About.
