How to delete stored "My Display Pictures"??

[Philippe [Switzerland]]

Hi there!
On my MSN account I got some "risky" pictures
which appear under "Change Display Picture".
So now I'd like to delete them from my system
...but I simply can't locate them on my HDD!!
So does anyone know where those specific
"Display shots" are actually being stored??
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated...

I think that - the pictures aren't on your hard disk, they are on the MSN
server.
Do you use MSN messenger? This has an option to set a piture to go with the
account.
In MSN messenger - Tools.Options. Personal tab . My Display Picture . untick
the box to show my picture

Hope this helps
Colin

They are stored on your hard drive also, as .dat files. I you look in
%userprofile%\Application Data\MSN Messenger they're in the subfolders. The
only way you can see them is with Messenger or with a program that is able to
translate them into jpg format.

You should be able to go into MSN Messenger and click on your Display Picture..
Then remove the ones you don't want. If you're not able to get to it that way,
click on "Tools" in your main window, then "Change My Display Picture".

Hope this helps you a little.
