About Display Pictures and Backgrounds

[rlolachi]

Hi

Does anyone know which folder Display Pictures and Background pictures
are stored in? I've already tried the Messenger folder (with the
option to view Hiden Files and Folders being on).

Thanks in advance

Greetings,

It's stored in the \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN
Messenger\anumber\
Where username is your Windows username and anumber is a random number.

Where the Display Pictures are in the UserTiles folder and the Background Pictures are in the
Backgrounds folder. You'll also see them as .tmp files (simply rename them to .jpg to
edit/view them normally).
