    Folders Created by Windows Messenger

    Hi

    THis question relates to the following directory and folders within a windows 7 environment -

    Users/[PCUSER]/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Messenger

    Under this folder i have a folder with my own email address which i naturally use for hotmail and Messenger-

    Users/[PCUSER]/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Messenger/xyz@hotmail.com


    Under my hotmail folder there are the usual folders- object store and Social News etc.

    There are two other folders for other users.

    Users/[PCUSER]/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Messenger/abc@hotmail.com

    and
    Users/[PCUSER]/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Messenger/abc@def.com


    Both of those folders have a single folder - object store- and both of those folders have Winks3 which contain emoticons

    Note, 'xyz', 'abc' and 'def' are substitutes for the real user id's and mail domain.

    I assume another user has used my PC to log into messenger. My question is this, is there any other way that those two other folders could have been created other than by logging into messenger on my PC?

    Thanks in advance

    I think that it is just a backup path of the mail from msn live account that you are using. All the files in the directory that you have specified, stores the image of the emoticon and their corresponding information. Just copy all the files in there into another directory and zip it up from there.
