Hi,
Thanks for the redirect. In Windows XP, they'll be found in the following location and you
can just copy them to back them up and copy them back to the same folder after you reinstall.
Note that these folders are localized, so it won't be this exact folder listed here.
\Documents and Settings\username\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\LiveID\ObjectStore\Custom Emoticons.
Where username is your Windows username and LiveID is your Windows Live ID e-mail address.
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 toolbar, click Tools,
then Folder Options, then the View tab, and then choose 'Show hidden files and folders'.
After click OK, they should appear with the other folders.
