How-to: Show emoticons in Messenger conversations

You wonder why no emoticons are showing up in chats with your friends? Here’s a solution.

  • Open Messenger, and sign in with your Windows Live ID.

  • In Messenger’s main window, click your profile name, then More options. (In Messenger 2009, click your display name, then Options…)

  • Switch to the Messages tab.

  • Check that both “Show emoticons” and “Show custom emoticons” checkboxes are checked.

  • Click OK.

  • Now open a chat window with one of your friends, and send an emoticon.

  • Does it show up? I bet! =))
