I do not know remember all the passwords to Windows Live Messenger
since its been stored automatically. I have to transfer login
information to the Windows Live Messenger accounts to another laptop.

Where does Messenger save this information? Is it a certain fil that I
can copy?


I know there must be a file or something, because when I am
un-installing Messenger and then re-installing it afterwards, my
accounts and passwords are still there.


Please help me..


Thanks,
Martin

You can post your query to this Windows Live Messenger-specific newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windows.live.messenger

On the web:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.live.messenger

In your newsreader:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.live.messenger

There are free utilities out there which can find and display such passwords
but I don't feel comfortable posting links to such utilities in the public
newsgroups for security reasons. <w>

PA Bear said that he know of some free utilities that can solve my
problem, but for some reason he doesnt want to post the links here.
thats why i asked him if he could send them to my email, but for some
reason he doesnt want to do that either.
