Empty Recycle Bin sound does not play

[Roy C]

When I empty the Recycle Bin the sound will not play. I've checked in Control Panel, Sounds under program events: and when I preview the sound, it will play. Other sound events work fine. I have 4 computers running XP Pro and on 3 of them I can't get the Empty Recycle Bin sound to play. I didn't even realize that it was not working until I decieded to use my own sound file. When I couldn't get it to work, I changed it back to the default "Windows XP Recycle.wav" and it still did not work. That is when I checked my other 3 computers and found 2 of them that are not working and one that does. I've tried severial .reg files at Kelly's corner but none of these have worked. I also tried exporting the folder {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID from the registry on the working computer and importing it to the non working computer. This also didn't fix the problem. Has anyone else experenced this and does anyone have a solution
Please help if you can. Thank you

Have you tried using the Windows Default Sound Scheme from the dropdown
menu, applying that and rebooting?

Sorry Suzanne, I tried to post only to XP Help and Support and XP General. I don't know how I also managed to also post in microsoft.public.word.newusers

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Of all the posts we've seen with this strange cross-posting, this is the
first time I've seen a report that it was unintentional. I think something
must be strangely broken.

Sorry Suzanne, I tried to post only to XP Help and Support and XP General.

I don't know how I also managed to also post in

Aren't you tired of posting this? Most new users (especially those
who use the CDO) do not have a clue how to post a question, let alone
which group to post it to. Quit wasting bandwidth by letting us all
know the subject is off topic for MS Word or whatever. It's not like
the Word groups are "overloaded" to begin with.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I assume you are a regular reader of microsoft.public.word.newusers when you
state that the NG is not overloaded? My concern is with the mechanism that
is encouraging or forcing users to post to that NG when they intend to be
posting elsewhere.

Ms. Barnhill:

Perhaps you don't understand the problem. New users do not know how
to use a newsreader and as such rely on the CDO web interface to post
questions. Most will post one question and never return, or if they
return can't find replies. They may not have any idea of which group
to post to so instead post to any that have "MS" as part of the name
line.

When you reply here and state "off topic", chances are the person who
originally posted the question will never see that. It's a waste of
your time and anyone else who has to read it. Also, my experience
reading Word groups on this server (msnews.microsoft.com) leads me to
believe that it doesn't even approach the amount of posts that this
group (windowsxp.general) gathers in each day.

If you feel you're so overworked in the Word new users group, perhaps
you need to take a break and chill out.

Regards.

Given that the OP new how to cross post from the CDO Interface, it's very
unlikely that he fits your profile of a new users using the CDO web
interface. More likely in this case that the OP is behind a corporate
firewall that precludes the use of a newsreader.

You assumption is wrong. Although I am not new to computers or newsgroups, this is the first time that I have posted to a newsgroup using the Microsoft web interface. In advanced options, it give you an opportunity to cross post to other newsgroups. In my first attempt, I entered the newsgroup that I wanted wrong and it would not post. My second attempt, I entered the newsgroup correctly and it posted. Much to my surprises, it also posted in this group. I learn quick and it did not happen again, after all I did apologize. However, you choose to beat a dead horse to death. It sure makes me proud to be a part of newsgroups in general (not) and I am sorry that like others, I was only looking for answers to computer problems encored. I certainly was not expecting to come across the newsgroup police such as yourself. If you are so concerned about NG being overloaded, then you should have accepted my apology and left it like that instead of starting an NG verbal war
Have a great day

I did accept your apology. You will note that the post you quote was
directed not at you but at CS (whoever he/she may be), who chose to attack
me for what I considered a mild protest and in spite of your apology and
explanation (which was what really concerned me, as I have been involved in
providing feedback to the team that is designing the new Communities
interface). As for beating a dead horse, you are the one who has resurrected
this thread after several days of silence.
