From: thricipio on 16 Feb 2010 16:10 So… I've been trying to do something on XP Pro, that I know I've done before with no great difficulty on XP Home: that is, change a couple of the sound scheme settings — specifically, the "Windows Logoff" and "Windows Logon" settings. On XP Home, I recall having to go into the "Sounds and Audio Devices Properties" dialogue and selecting the desired item (e.g., Windows Logoff) and then using the [Browse] button to find the desired .wav file. I can do that, and I can check that I have the correct .wav file by clicking the [>] button. So far, so good… But when I actually Logoff/on, I don't get the newly selected .wav files. I've even renamed the desired .wav files to "Windows Logoff(/on)" and placed them in the default directory {‹root_drive›\Windows\Media} and tested them with the [>] button. And that works (as one would expect)… But again, when I logoff and logon, I still get the default Win logoff/on .wav file sounds. Obviously, I'm missing something basic here… just can't figure out what that is. Any help you can give will be appreciated. Thanks. Color me stymied, —Thri
