I had to reinstall the OS (Windows XP SP3), and now I can't find the old MSN Toolbar to download. It has been replaced with the Bing Toolbar. The Bing toolbar doesn't have the options to use smileys (tools - icons - create -localize the icon on your PC).

I wan't to put smileys in my e-mails, etc. How can I do this now??? Can I download an old version of the MSN Toolbar somewhere?

The only safe way I know of to safely use smileys was by following these instructions, using the old MSN Toolbar: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080518112819AAMXHfg (Also, when you installed the MSN Toolbar, you did a custom installation and unchecked everything - so the toolbar didn't do anything else, and didn't slow broswing.)

Smileycentral.com, and all others I know of, are MALWARE - they slow browsing, track browsing, phone home, etc. See for example: www(dot)pchell(dot)com/support/smileycentral.shtml

Please do yourself and everyone you send emails to a favor and stop using smileys at all. Emoticons, as text, can be acceptable if used properly, but HTML email is a bad idea period, and that includes image smileys.

You can consider using emoticons from the unicode block instead.

These should be interpreted by anything that uses Unicode for its character base.
