    Re: Deleted custom emoticons in MSN

    Hi Sean,

    When I go into the Application Data folder, there isn't a folder for
    Microsoft or MSN...any other ideas?

    Hi Jonathan,

    Thanks for the reply, but I *know* they're not showing up. How do I fix the
    problem? I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling MSN Messenger, and the
    problem still happens.

    Maybe I should ask how to do a clean uninstall, so that my previous info
    isn't stored?
