Go to avatars.yahoo.com and there you can change the expression of your face.  Or you could click on your avatar when you're in your email account, and it brings you to the same page.

First, create a Yahoo! Avatar at avatars.yahoo.com.  Then edit your profile (you'll find an edit my profile link if you click on your nickname on any Answers page).  On the edit profile page, one of the choices you'll have for "Picture" is your avatar.\n\nAvatars are also used in a number of other Yahoo! sites, including Yahoo! Messenger and 360.

Ok, first start calling that your desktop.  The picture is called your background, or wallpaper.  If you want an icon on the desktop, with internet explorer icon, you can choose that option while installing it.  If you don't feel like reinstalling yahoo messenger just to c that option, go to the place you installed if.  (usualy C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!&#92;Messenger)  then right click YahooMessenger.exe and choose, create shortcut.  Then right click the shortcut and chosoe cut, then right click the desktop and choose paste.  You can rename the shortcut then to w/e u want it will still go to yahoo messenger.

Don't worry about your kind of computer, the Yahoo! Messenger program is the same anywhere. Alright, if you already know a friend's Yahoo! ID, all you gotta do is go to the Yahoo! Messenger main window and click on the button with the smiley face next to a plus sign, usually first in the left part of the button toolbar. This is the "Add a Contact" button. (if you can't see these buttons, go to the Messenger menu->Show/Hide-> and click on Toolbar)\n\nOnce you press the button, you'll see the "Add to Messenger List" window. Just type the person's Yahoo ID (without the @yahoo.com) and click on next 2 times and click on Finish. Voila! You added your first contact. :) Repeat same procedure for future contacts.
