I used a patch like the following to add custom sound events for programs of my choosing. It works in Win98 and WinME but NOT in WinXP! Anyone know why? I found a shareware program whose author says it can't be done in NT/2000/XP.....

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

bigaldoc,

Don't you also have to include entries under the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\EventLabels]key?

Well, I tried doing that but it didn't help. In Win98 or WinME one did not have to add event labels, I guess because "open" and "close" are already standard entries. I've been pulling my hair out over this because so many other apps I use which were written before XP was born, still add their sound events to the registry and one can see and change them in the Sounds app of Control Panel (i.e. Quicken, HotDogPro, ClipMate, etc.)

I should have added a gracious P. S. to that answer of mine! Rude of me!

Knowing full well that I may not have done the labels thing correctly or for whatever other reason, I would WELCOME your help and if you solve this problem, I'll be most grateful! Thnx fer answering, Mr. RegHakr

Al,

The reason why I suggested Event Labels is because I too use Clipmate and there are entries in the AppEvents section for it.
