>> Greetings Adnan,
>>
>> You'll find the files here on Vista:
>> \Users\username\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Messenger\LiveID\ObjectStore\CustomEmoticons
>>
>> Where username is your Windows username and LiveID is your Windows Live ID e-mail address.
>>
>> 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.
>>
>> You can then just backup this folder elsewhere and then copy them back to restore.
>> Additionally, you may want to backup the other folders in the ObjectStore, like Winks.
>>
>> Keep in mind however that these emoticons are locked to that particular Windows Live ID,
>> you can't just start copying them to other IDs without further third-party tools.
