Default Where does MSN messenger store files

As the title implies, where does MSN messenger store certain files and pictures?

I recently got a new computer and I want some of the old icons and pictures from my Messenger on my old computer.

I am looking for "My display pictures" there are pictures I would like to use from there for the new computer

Alsohe personal "emoticons" I received over time from friends. I already have the default ones. Please tell me where these are saved (which folders) I can locate these on my computer?
