Windows Sounds.. JD <JD[ at ]example.invalid> 12/8/2008 5:58:31 PM I'm using XP he with SP3 and I've gone to Control Panel, Accessibility Options,Toggle Keys, to enable ToggleKeys. Specifically to have a beep when I accidentally hit the CapsLock key. When I go to Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, the Sounds tab, I don't see the sound for the ToggleKeys setting. Can I change that sound like I can change other sounds like the Asterisk, Default Beep, Exclamation, Question or System Notification sounds? -- JD..

Re: Windows Sounds.. "Jonathan Boyko" <Aba[ at ]Keter-Publish.Co.IL> 12/9/2008 10:12:32 AM As far as I know, ToggleKeys uses the default "Beep" sound only. You can try changing the sound for "Default Beep" and see if it works for you. Notice, though, that all actions that use the "Default Beep" sound will then use this particular sound. -- - - - - - - - - - - Jonathan M. Boyko "Aba Computer Systems LTD."

Re: Windows Sounds.. JD <JD[ at ]example.invalid> 12/9/2008 1:43:43 PM When you top post, my original post disappears because of my sig file so I've added my original post back, under your reply. Here is my reply: The sound is not the default Beep, which I have changed. The sound actually doesn't play through the speakers like all my other Windows sounds, the sound only plays through the little speaker inside my computer. It's like the beep the computer makes at POST. I don't think there is a way to change the sound. Thanks for trying to help.

That allows me to turn it on and off but it doesn't allow me to change the actual sound it makes. Thanks for the nifty shortcut though. -- JD..

Thanks for the nifty shortcut though. To change the sounds it makes, just replace the file with a .wav file of your own. The wavs are located in windows/media IIRC. I've changed a lot of the system sounds here; so I can tell more what's really going on. One I changed was "navigation start" and "navigation ended" so I know when site loads, entries, etc. are actually finished - I don't have to wait around for the pretty pgaes that way, once I know the navigation has completed.

I don't believe there is a way to change the sound. Hit the Shift key five times, click on Settings and select Use ToggleKeys and you can hear the sound I'm trying to change. Although at this point I've grown used to it. I don't hit the CapsLock key very often. -- JD..

I think, it will be located in a different place if you don't have Office 2002, but for me, the keyclick for Accessibility is located here: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Media\CLICK.WAV or C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Media\type.WAV. Accessibility seems to use the type.wav for me. I didn't look to see if it can be selected differently in Accessibility, but I did change the sound by taking another one and renamint it, and it worked. Try a search for *.wav on Program Files; it should find yours, I think. Is this the sort of thing you're looking for? Twayne

There is no click.wav or type.wav file on either of my two HDs. Thanks for trying to help. The sound doesn't play through my speakers, it plays through the speaker in the computer, like the POST sound does. It appears I can't change the sound on my computer. I'm moving on. -- JD..
