Hi!
It would also be really nice if
XnView could also open the
display pictures and background tiles that are used by
MSN Messenger and stored on those
.dat files!
And keep up the good work!

Could you send me some samples, please?

I know, but not 100% sure, msn display pictures are in .png format and emoticons also in .gif; simply they are named .dat and saved in internet explorer cache
using msn messenger, you can use msncpecrawler.exe (an external free tool) to find and see these images
so, in my opinion, it's more useful a "find msn picture and emoticons" feature

Hi
Flock!
The tool from that link returned an error everytime I tried to run it!
But I downloaded it from somewhere else and it ran ok... but that tool only scans for my
contacts' display pictures and
emoticons... but it doesn't detect any of
my custom backgrounds neither any of
my display pictures!
I think those are stored in my
"MSN Messenger" folder in weird .dat files (not sure what image format) and not on
"Internet Explorer" Cache folder...
But thanks for the tip!

this link should be correct: in this page
http://www.msgweb.nl/en/tools.php, select download "MSN Custom picture and emoticon crawler"
the previous tool is a standalone program; there is another multi-features tool to steal msn pictures and emoticons (but is an hidden feature!!!), so read the manual; is StuffPlugNG, a plugin for Messenger Plus!, the most famous extension for MSN Messnger
