You can also create an avatar at = http://avatars.yahoo.com/
At http://avatars.yahoo.com ,
Go to "My Profile" "Edit My Info" in Answers and select the avatar.

Click on My Profile/My 360 Profile/My Page/Edit Personal Photos/Browse/
select the photo from a folder in your hard drive and click on it/Save/Edit Personal Photos/Set as primary/Save
Also you can open an Instant Message box with anyone, then go to the top and click on VIEW then click on MY DISPLAY/ IMAGE OPTIONS, then click on CHOOSE A PICTURE. It will then permit you to choose from the pictures on your computer. If you have none on your hard drive, it offers an avitar icon you can use. You can use the same steps when you want to change the picture. Just the last step would be change my picture..

My display picture will not change in messenger box

Go to folder
C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Profiles\[your Yahoo ID]\My Icons

It's a list of display images saved by YM. Remember the filename of your desired image.

Open your registry (click Start, Run.., type REGEDIT).

Trace the path
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Yahoo/pager/profiles/[your Yahoo ID]/FriendIcons

The value of Path should reflect the filename of the current display image in your YM. Change it to reflect the filename of your desired image.

Close the registry.

Restart YM.
