Re: Where does Messenger store display pics?



Greetings,

It is stored in %appdata%\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\passportid\UserTile.

Where %appdata% is Documents and Settings\Application Data\ and passportid is a numeric
representation of your Passport.

They'll show up .DAT files but they're really PNGs.

I know Windows Live Messenger has to cache the display pics somewhere because
I can still select them even though the original file may have been deleted
from my computer, but my question is where does it store them?
