where are they saved

i looked in program files then messenger and msnlive and i dont see the emoticons anywhere

C:\Documents and Settings\*Username*\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger

There will be alot of folders... you gotta find which one has "Custom Emoticons" in them. There will be a few with that folder but only one of them actually has the files. You need to turn on hidden folders/files and the "show extention even if known". The images will all be .dat files, just rename then to .gif and you will then be able to see which emot it was
