Office Communicator – How to Use More Emoticons

Yes

All the communications on Office Communicator is stored on the server as well, apart from being stored in Exchange. As the product is catered for the corporate environment, all e-mail and communications internally legally belongs to that corporation.

This ability to check this on the client is only to allow you to have access to what is being logged, and can also be controlled centrally.

Voice calls however can only be logged if the infrastructure for this exists. We run this across a 5000 user network and have it enabled, storage for all this data however becomes great fun.

I think you'll find that you're not allowed to do that as they're owned by Microsoft and the license agreement will not allow you to disassemble their software.

That said, assuming that they're not stored in a non-standard/secret/obfuscated format, I'd guess that they're just stored as GIF or PNG image resources in the executable and that tools such as PE Explorer will allow you to look at the innards of the app and at least see the emoticons.
