how to make sounds when you open certain programs
Monday, February 2, 2004 by daddy5 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Is there any way to have windows play sounds when you open a specific program? I know how to make it do it with all programs but I want a sound just when I start i.e. or outlook. Any suggestions?

yrag thats what the app does, adds progs to the list under the sound schemes. I did get it to work but my stupid move was to assign a sound to IE opening and closing...
Now it doesn't work and neither does my WinCBrowser on my laptop anymore
Though it does make sound *sigh*....
I can not remember the name of the program but there was another one that worked on win2k. I'll have to look and see if I can find it "Sounder?" or some such...

Here are instructions to edit your registry to add sound events. I'm don't like messing with my reg so I'll wait for someone to make a utility for XP.

I have looked all over for a program that would add sounds to Windows. I have found a few for 95-98 but none for 2000. Even the program mentioned above says for 95-98 only. I found a great program that will randomize windows sound so they do not get monotonous.

Does Sound Association really work on XP?
I'd love a Second opinion

Ok, I missed the second page. So it does not work on XP or 2K. That figures.I have hacked the registry and still could not add sounds to programs. I could put them in and they would show up in windows sound schemes but stil not play. In fact the regular open and close for Sound Recorder does not work. It must not currently be posible or someone would have done it by now. there are companies that specialized in sound modification that just could not do it for 2000 and XP.
Maybe with Longhorn.

I have so far managed to get the Mouse Sounds and the Keyboard sounds to work as they should, have downloaded the Sound Associatioms, but have not set it up yet.
So far they work on Windows XP, I will let you know about Sound Association
