Greetings,

Direct copying them won't work I'm afraid, but that's the right location.

No,

C:/Program Files/MSN Messenger/ is the correct directory. But the directory
doesnt matter.

Also, use CustoMess to install emotions. This is available from www.mess.be

To install custom emotions, you dont need to copy them to any "Specific"
directory. You can have them in your My Documents.

Tools->My Emotions - > Create - > Find Image

Hope that helps

Hi,

Well there's the MSN Backup Tool I know I've linked you to before, but it's too late for that
if you just have the folder.

You may just go ahead name rename the DATs to PNGs (the animated emoticons will be GIFs) and
readd them.

use Custom Emoticon / Display Picture Backup Wizard from Sherv.NET

The Custom Emoticon/Display Picture Backup Wizard is a utility for backing
up the custom content, like MSN Display Pictures and MSN Emoticons, that you
have added to your MSN Messenger account (MSN 6.2, 7.0 or 7.5).

This is useful if you have a lot of emoticons and display pics and can't
afford to lose them, have lost the original files, need to re-use the files
on another account. If you previously lost your files, MSN Messenger doesn't
always delete them so you may be able to recover some images as well. This
utility is for anyone that uses a large amount of custom content in MSN
Messenger and cant afford to lose them.

i've tried and it works for WLM 8 as well

download it from http://www.sherv.net/Files/CEDP-Backup-Wizard.zip
