If you want to disable WordPress smilies, the relevant function is in wp-includes/formatting.php. It’s called convert_smilies.
The smilies were annoying me. So I just commented out most of the function.
If you want to do this, just leave $output = $text; and return $output; and you’ll be fine.
Update: Never mind, the option is in the WP admin! Somehow I had managed to miss it, but Shelby pointed me in the right direction.

I haven’t upgraded since like 2.04, but on my
wp-admin/options-writing.phppage there’s a tick-box forConvert emoticons to graphics. Unticked, of course.Doh, I see that now. I looked everywhere (or so I thought) in the WP admin and couldn’t find it. Guess that’s the one place I didn’t look! THanks.
