Where are emoticons saved?

[Guest]

Hello, I noticed my sister is saving a lot of emoticons that her friends are
sending her. Does anyone know where these are stored and where are they
stored when you create one?
thanks for any help

Greetings Louise,

They are stored in:
Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN
Messenger\anumber\CustomEmoticons. Where username is your Windows username and anumber is an
integer representation of the Passport e-mail address.

If she's looking to back them up, she should use this tool:
