How can I install emoticons automatically?

Me again..
I downloaded loads of emoticons on torrent...
however, it appears that I would have to input them manually.. what a killer..
Are there programs available to let me use the ones i downloaded? or perhaps a quicker way?

Cheers
Be nice

    Same goes with Smileys and Emoticons

    Need to upload an Image?

    So whilst you are composing a reply in advanced mode
    You will see some Icons if you “mouse over” these one will
    Say “Insert Image” now that’s where the Image hyperlink will go
    (In the Box that Appears).

    Example, Go to https://www.google.co.uk and do an Image search for “Cats”
    next you will see a load of pictures that appear now click on any picture
    (not more than 650pixels wide) and you will see up the top a piece of
    Blue text saying See Full Size Image, Now click that text and you will see
    the picture only, now right click the Link in the Address Bar and choose copy
    now go and reply to a message in any MSE forum and when doing so choose
    “Go Advanced” type out any message and then click the mouse cursor
    in an appropriate place then click on the “Insert Image” Icon and now right click
    the mouse in the Box that appears and choose Paste.

    Now you will see the copied hyperlink look like this YOURPICCY
    the and are called image Tags this allows you to directly link an image
    from one website to another, the only major problem with this is that if the website
    goes down from where you got the image hyperlink, your image wont show in a forum
    as this is now a “Broken Link”.

    Better Option…..

    First off go to https://www.photobucket.com and sign up for an account its free
    now do the same as before and “google” for a picture, once you have found a
    picture by clicking on “See Full Size Image” just right click the image and choose
    “Save Picture As” now give it any name you like and save it to your PC in the
    “My Documents” or “My Pictures” Folder…now click “save”….
    You have now saved the Picture to your PC.

    Now go to your Photobucket account and sign in now click on “Browse” and locate
    the picture you just saved, Now click on “Open” then “Submit” this will then upload
    the image to your Photobucket account, Now click the left hand mouse button until
    the Img text is highlighted Blue, now right hand click the Img tag ****
    and click copy, now got to any forum and this time you don’t have to click on
    any Icons or go Advanced just right hand click the mouse and choose Paste
    now submit the message to see the picture appear.

    Unless you delete the Photobucket account your picture wont disappear….

    Do they have an mco extension?

    Try googling for the latest version of... I think... MCO Installer.

    Sorry at work so don't want to go looking for emoticons and torrents!

    That just adds pics to your list of what you can display as your pic.. not things you can use as emoticons :(
    I just tried it to be sure.
    Never mind.. I dont think It can be done with random emoticons. Oh well :(

    Really appreciate the effort tho :)
    Be nice
