Windows Sound Schemes

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

One of the things I really liked about Windows 98 were the different sound
schemes, and how you could set whatever sound you wanted to a certain action.
If you didn't like a sound you could change it.
Does anyone know where where I can get more sound schemes than just the
default Windows XP sounds?

Hi,

The same functionality is also available on Windows XP. Go to control panel > Sound, speech and
audio devices > Change the sound scheme. You can assign you own sounds to different events and also
create a custom cound scheme and save it.

Hi,

I have created a fantastic sound scheme, but I can't find it (as a package)
when I save the scheme from within the sounds control panel... any ideas?

cheers
