Sounds - Change

Thanks for pointing that out, entropy1963.

In addition to exporting the key mentioned above in my previous post, you should also export the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Names

Alternatively, simply export the full key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes to get it all in one file.

If you want a specific theme, then you can use the information in my earlier post https://www.sevenforums.com/1005759-post5.html and save the data for that specific theme. You would then also need to export the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Names\<SoundSchemeName>

Where <SoundSchemeName> is again the name of the scheme.

Here are a couple of other keys that you should also save the data for.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\MuiCache\290\52C64B7E]
"@mmres.dll,-8XX"="<SoundSchemeName>"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\MuiCache\290\52C64B7E]
"@mmres.dll,-8XX"="<SoundSchemeName>"

Where XX is a numerical value dependant on the scheme. For example, the scheme No Sounds is represented by 01. If it is an existing scheme, you will need to check the registry for the value of XX. For schemes that you create yourself, XX can take a value from 23 - 99, although you should generally start with the next available which will initially be 23.

This combines the information in my previous posts.

Code:

OPTION TWO added to tutorial to show how to change sound events in Registy Editor. :)

You're most welcome Luis. Thank you. :)

Hello Dragonfly, and welcome to Seven Forums.

It may be something with how the .wav file that you downloaded was created or encoded as to why it's not working. I don't know the specifics, but you may not be able to use them.

Hello xsile,

If you mean the startup sound, then the tutorial below can help show you how to. :)
