How to transfer display pictures to another PC?

How do I transfer display pictures to another PC??

What about custom emoticons too? (not as important)

Greetings,

Actually, as long as you're using 8.1, this isn't too hard at all. If you're not using 8.1,
upgrade the Messenger before doing this:
http://get.live.com/messenger/overview

First, it's best to shut down Messenger on both PCs if its running, then just click Start,
then Run, and enter the following:
%appdata%\..\local settings\application data

then click OK. Select the Microsoft folder, than Messenger folder. Next just select your
Passport/Windows Live ID e-mail address from the folders displayed, then choose the
ObjectStore folder. You'll then see the various folders of the various content in your
Messenger profile. All you need to do is copy these folders to the account in the same
folder on the other PC.

Oh. I don't have that folder on my old OS installation, so I most probably
don't have the custom emoticons that I thought I did, heh.

Ah, that is the file location in Vista. I forget where it was in XP

I'm using Vista, and the old installation was Vista too.
