Make Some Noise

Did you know you can control the sounds windows plays when certain events happen? Accessing the sounds that Windows uses is as easy as opening up the Control Panel and selecting Sound:
Here you will see a list of all the possible events that can have a sound effect. Generally, Windows keeps these WAV files in the c:/windows/media folder.

To customize a Windows sound event:

1. Save your favorite WAV files in a convenient place (like the c:/windows/media folder);
2. Open the Sound Properties window from the Control Panel and select the Event for which you would like to add or change a sound;
3. Browse to the WAV file you want played each time the event occurs and press OK.

You can record your own WAV files if you've got a microphone attached to your PC. Click on the Start Menu, Accessories, Entertainment and open the Windows Sound Recorder. There are thousands of places on the web where you can find free WAV files.
