Shoutbox

Well, when I was using WLM 2009, I had two custom emoticons with shortcuts ":}" and ":]". But WLM 2011 also has built-in emoticons with the same shortcuts...and after I upgraded from 2009 to 2011, when I send :} or :], I see my custom emoticons, but my contacts (with WLM 2011) see the default emoticons, which is driving me crazy.

I want to re-assign new shortcuts to my own custom emoticons but in the emoticons window I can't -- the Modify and the Remove buttons for the two custom emoticons are gray-ed out.

Any ideas how I can delete the conflict custom emoticons or re-assign the shortcuts for them?
