Default Beep defaults to Windows XP Ding.wav

If you're hearing the Windows XP Ding.wav when you close programs, change
it.

Open Sounds and Audio Device Properties...
Start | Run | Type: mmsys.cpl | Click OK |
Sunds tab | Set Close Program to (None)

That's what I have. I know when I close a program, no need to hear a sound
when it happens.

Click the Play button to hear what sounds you have for whatever events.

[[Plays the selected sound. When the sound plays, this button changes to a
square block or a Stop button. Click the Stop button to stop playing the
selected sound.]]

Is the Windows XP Ding.wav what you're hearing? Look at the events and see
what else besides Default Beep is using Windows XP Ding.wav. My Sound theme
has about one thing left that is default and Default Beep is it.

By [[Look at the events and see

I meant look through the Program events in Sounds and Audio Device
Properties
Start | Run | Type: mmsys.cpl | Click OK |
Sunds tab |

Not the Event Viewer.

Click the Play button to hear what sounds you have for whatever events.

[[Plays the selected sound. When the sound plays, this button changes to a
square block or a Stop button. Click the Stop button to stop playing the
selected sound.]]

Or just look for Windows XP Ding.wav in the Sounds box.

Under Sounds/Close Program/Sounds: Select (None) as all of my systems are
set here from default and always has/have been. Why your system is
different, only you can help us there... )

From here, I would suggest that you check these keys.....
Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\AppEvents\EventLabels
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default
