  • it will not be stored in msn, possibly linked to another copy of it
    Try searching you entire pc for pic files ?
    Start - Search - For Files and folders - Pictures, music, video - check Pics and Photos and click search. should bring back all pics on yr computer

    In MSN click on tools, options, personal.

    Then click on change picture, then click on browse, this will show you the folder the picture is stored in and the name of the picture so you should then be able to find it using explorer etc.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    it is just in your msn choice of pics, i forget now but you can change you pic, and you can choice which one you want, but im not sure once you have deleted the actual proper pic, wheter you can get it back. even if you go in start search for files, it will only find it, if it's still on your pc....and since it aint cos you deleted it...then im sure you wont find it, sorry
