Favorite Sounds/Sound Effects
Here are some sounds & sound effects I've collected, that seem humorous enough to share with others. One way to use them is to substitute them with the sounds currently in your Windows system. Dump the crappy beeps and tones, replace them with something more interesting! 'Course, for some Windows events, that means hearing the same sound several times in rapid succession. Well, yah pays yer money and yah gets yer cherce!
If you want to change the sounds on your Win95 system, download one of these files by clicking on the one you want. A small window will open and play the sound. After the sound plays, click somewhere inside the window (right click if you're using any of the MS Explorer things) and save the sound to your computer in the C:\Windows\Media folder (if you don't have this folder, you're not equipped to play the sounds). Click on "Start" "Settings" "Control Panel" and then "sounds". Find the event with which you want to use the sound, click on it, by browsing through the Windows\Media folder until you find the right sound effect. Have fun!
The most recently-added sounds are at the top of the listing.
