| | Make your custom emotes from 8.5 work in the new beta! I was fooling around with my folders when I uninstalled 8.5 and put in the new beta and I happened to come across where the Sharing Folders are stored, so by a hunch, I backed up that whole directory, which included my custom emotes. When I installed the beta, and restored that directory, I got my custom emotes back, and they DO work in the new beta. So for those who cant get their old custom emotes back and working, make sure you back up the following directory before uninstall of 8.5: XP Home/Pro: "C:\Documents and Settings\<your_name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\<your_msn_email>" Vista: No Clue, as I dont use Vista, but Im sure the Vista version of the directory is close to similar -- Any problems caused by software made by leading manufacturers is always the users fault, never the manufacturer. That's the real world of computer software manufacturers, deal with it. |

| | Re: Make your custom emotes from 8.5 work in the new beta! Greetings, Yes, the format hasn't changed. However, at no time will the objectstore be removed by Microsoft by uninstalling or reinstalling Messenger. So, there's no need to back up and restore these just in doing these maintenance tasks. You can also move these from machine to machine but not account (Live ID) to account (Live ID). -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Larry Reyome" <LReyome25@xxxxxx(nosubmittojunk)> wrote in message news:465D9002-9C88-47F3-811D-ADF0D85212D6@xxxxxx Quote: > I was fooling around with my folders when I uninstalled 8.5 and put in the > new beta and I happened to come across where the Sharing Folders are stored, > so by a hunch, I backed up that whole directory, which included my custom > emotes.
