The photo button is the picture that is being displayed when you are talking to your friends on MSN Messenger. The default picture can be very dull and uninteresting, and often doesn't reflect the real you. But did you know that you can change the default photo to one of your own choosing?

Here's how to customize your MSN Messenger photo button, using pictures from your own camera.

1. Insert the USB cable in the input port
2. Save the photo to a folder
3. Open the MSN Messenger icon
4. Click the Edit tab on the top of the buddy list
5. Scroll to change display photo
6. Select the browse button
7. Insert the photo from the folder you saved it in
8. Click OK when the box asks if you are sure that this is what you want to do
9. Click on your photo­
10. Set it as default

By following these directions, you will have your favorite pictures for all of your friends to see when you are messaging them.
