Changing sounds in XP

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I'm trying to change the sound of both the windows logon and logoff to the
same sound...."notify". I'm following the directions to do this exactly as
it is written in the sounds section in control panel.
I select the windows logon, go to the lower dialog box and select notify,
then hit ok, and save the two new sounds with a new name up above.
When I reboot the computer, nothing has changed.
Am I doing something out of sequence here? If I am, can someone please give
me the exact path to change these two sounds? I can't for the life of me
figure out why I can't get this to stick as a change.
If I go back into sounds in control panel and select windows logon and
logoff, the box shows "notify" and the sound files are all ok and I hear
them by hitting the triangle.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Dudley

Thank you for the link. I have it solved actually, after I posted.
Apparently I was just selecting the two sounds I wanted to change; the xp
start and close; then selecting the sound I wanted, then just hitting apply
and ok. Somehow this wasn't working until I went up to the top dialog box
and saved this as a new scheme with a new name. When I did this, the sounds
changed all right on the reboot.
