Re: Custom Emoticon Transfer

Jonathan:
I found this posting after I wrote the other post. I believe this is the
answer to my question about how to move the Enoticons from my old XP to my
new XP. I am not sure I have the same version of Windows Live Messenger on
both computers. Is it important that I have the same verson as the old
computer does not have internet now but I think I could get it back on if I
needed to.

Thanks

Greetings,

Unfortunately only Windows Live Messenger 8.1 (which doesn't run on Win2k) is the first
version of Messenger to fully support being able to copy your emoticons since version 6 as
they are locked to a specific PC.

Instead, assuming you still have access to the PC in question, you can use this tool to
transfer them for you:

I've just switched computers from a Windows 2000 machine to a Vista Business
machine. In addition, I went from MSN Messenger 7.0 to Windows Live Messenger
8.1. I've found the custom emoticon folder on my Windows 2000 machine but not
sure were to put the contents on the Vista machine.
