Where are the display pictures in Windows Live Messenger stored?

[Guest]

I have been trying to find the path for the display pictures used in Windows
Live Messenger in Vista, but can't seem to find them. Can anyone tell me
where they are located?

Hello Mark,

Try here:
C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Messenger\YOURLIVEID\ObjectStore\UserTile
or
C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\MessengerCache

The pictures are in a proprietary format, ie they are not stored as .bmp or
..jpg.

Jane, you must be thinking of XP. It does not appear this way in Vista.

Mark spewed out this bit, and i'll scatter a few bits myself:

Jane, you must be thinking of XP. It does not appear this way in
Vista.

That's exactly how it appears in my Vista installation for MSN messenger.
Don't know about Live messenger though, as I don't have it installed. I'd
imagine it can't be much different.

Hi Mark,

I took those locations directly from my Vista install with Windows Live
Messenger. AppData is a hidden folder.
