transfer emoticons

how i transfer all my emoticons from one pc to another.
Both pc using windows xp and messenger live.

Greetings,

All you have to do is copy the folder. For XP, the folder is located in:
\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/Passport e-mail
address. All you'll need to do is copy them from one to another. However, as a side note,
you can only copy directly when the LiveID's are the same, if they are different, Messenger
will simply ignore them.

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.

Finally, all these paths and options will be localized in whatever language your Windows
version is in, my apologies in advance for only giving the English paths.

I found this path
Being "juan.oropeza" my network login.

C:\Documents and Settings\juan.oropeza\Configuración local\Application
Data\Microsoft
but under "Microsoft" directory, there is only 1 folder "CD Burning"
I did a search for folder "LiveID" and nothing was found.

Also I change the options under the tool menu to
-- Show all hidden files and folders.
-- Show system proctected files
-- Show file extensions

I also install the addon Messenger Plus. (i dont know if this could affect
the way messenger store the emoticons).

Im a VB.NET developer. Is there any way i can access the model object from a
windows form aplication to do the transfer myself?

Thanks in advice

Hi,

There is no "LiveID" folder, the LiveID refers to your Windows Live ID e-mail, like
