You won't lose your emoticons uninstalling and reinstalling WLM, so you can try (but if you wanna be sure you can manually save them saving the folder %USERPROFILE%\Local settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\"username@provider.xxx", where you find a folder named with your e-mail address instead of "username@provider.xxx". I don't know if the folder Local settings exists, I had to translate his name).
