MSN BackUp V1.3.3 is software for the backup and installation of Moods, Winks, Emoticons, Backgrounds and User Tiles from Microsoft MSN Messenger 7, 7.5 Live 8.0, 8.1 and now 8.5. With MSN Backup you can see the image preview and the flash preview for the Winks.

Follow this:

• Go to run

• go to Microsoft =>MSN Messenger,
• go to Your Account
• then go to CustomEmoticons
• Change .DAT extention to .GIF
• Copy that file.

To use MSN BackUp V1.3.3 you need to enter your unique ID in messenger. Enter you account details and then your ID is at the bottom. Copy this into the box in MSNBackup. In the right hand pane at the top choose a patch where to back up. In the left hand pane - click on the elements you want to back up - winks, emoticons, etc, then hit the icon with the folder and green arrow pointing to the right. You are done with the backup.
