You can by the way but as hmaster said you should search.
c:\documents and settings\user\application data\microsoft\msn
messenger\account number\custom emoticons.
Also you need to have hidden files and folders showing.
If you search the forums, I have answered this before.
The emoticons are stored on your computer as .DAT files in that
folder. But you can change them back to .gifs so that you can use
them somewhere else.
1. First open the .DAT file in internet explorer
2. Then you should see the emoticon that the .DAT file contains.
Right click and save this emoticon. You must save it as different
name than the .DAT file.
3. Now open the file you just saved, again in internet explorer.
You should see the emoticon again and now you can right click and
save it as a .gif file.
Its a lengthy process but it works.
Hope this helps.
i've done it its pretty simple really... ok well go here on ur
comp :
C:\Documents and Settings\[your xp username]\Application
Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\[your unique
number]\CustomEmoticons
they'll be saved in a .DAT format so what i do is i copy and paste
them to another folder then i change the extention (.DAT) to .GIF
then you can use them.
