When I type the words yes, yeah, wow, etc. an animated smiley face appears
with the word. How do I disable this?

Greetings Tiffany,

This isn't built-in to Messenger per se, you have to set emoticons to these words (or another
application might).

Regardless, to fix this, open up any Messenger window, press the Alt key on the keyboard to
bring up the menu bar, choose the Tools menu, then Emoticons. Find the emoticons you've
mentioned in the window, choose each and then choose the Remove button.
