- Actually that's easy. When the dialog box pops up and asks for
- the sound source. Locate your sounds. They are either in the system
- subdirectory or inside the main windows subdirectory. Then you just set
- up the sounds for what you want. The sounds are also either in the
- system.ini or win.ini file. You might check there to see if they were
- erased by some change of those files. Now if the files are missing then
- I'm not sure how difficult it would be to install the sound files without
- re-installing windows. Personally I use whoop-it-up and the sounds from
- 2001 Space Odyssey and have the system's sounds turned off...
