No, your emoticons are not stored in that folder. If you wish to transfer those, you might be interested in reading CookieRevised's reply to Where does MSN store it's avatars? and CookieRevised's reply to re-name display pics?

The .dat files of the emoticons aren't encrypted or anything, just merely the files with their extension changed. If you right click on one of these files and open with a picture veiwing program, you will see the emoticon.
