x34 Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 By accident, I came across a "hidden" Emoticons menu in Windows Messenger for XP 4.6.077 tonight that displayed 3 additional icons... a rainbow ®, a pair of handcuffs (%), and a sunshine (#). The regular "Emoticons" button doesn't display these, nor does the HELP documentation... In a message window, press and hold SHIFT then the left parenthesis "(" button. A new emoticons window should pop up. cool, I guess...? Paradox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted March 20, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 20, 2002 I *suppose* i could understand hiding the handcuffs, but why the rest? Maybe the documentation and interface team don't interact that much with the person making those emoticons :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

configure Veteran Posted March 20, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 20, 2002 Not trying to be an ass but Plus! Extension can display the hidden emoticons.. There is also one more hidden icon, it's a pictuer of "a/s/l" under the question mark. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that makes sense..thx. As for the "?ASL", I've seen it before, and have NO earthly idea what it could possibly mean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
