Greetings Craig,

I'm not sure what you mean, as when you chose a personal display picture, it's actually sized
down and put into the same folder as the rest of the "default" ones. As such, they're all in
\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\microsoft\MSN Messenger\anumber\UserTile
Where username is your Windows XP username and anumber is a random number.

Although saved as .DAT files, they're really .PNG files and able to be opened in any
application which supports .PNG.
