TUTORIAL FOR MODIFYING EVENT SOUNDS IN WINDOWS XP

Using a PC can be hard work at times, but for most of us, it's a great resource and fantastic fun. you can personalise everything from the desk top, right down to the computers event sounds and sound schemes. What is an event sound and a sound scheme you say...well, a computer is designed to make various audible sounds, such as, the start up and shut down music, command prompts, emptying the recycle bin, navigation clicks and a whole lot more.

Being able to customise the computer in this way can make things a little more interesting and a lot more fun. We can personalise sounds, make our own original events, or simply record audio from, let’s say a film or a piece of music. All in all, it just adds that little something different to the experience of using the PC. OK, so if you would like to set up some of the events sounds available here, then follow the instructions below (this is using Windows XP home, although other Windows operating systems should be very similar).

Have fun and when you get a little more confident with doing this, you can try some of the other events listed in the tree view, such as “select, program error or print complete”. Good luck and happy eventing!
