hello; this came right from google.
Importing and exporting whole sound schemes becomes handy if you want to apply your schemes to different computers or setup your system anew and don't want to copy the whole Windows theme. Doing so proves trickier as one might think though, since sound schemes are not saved as some kind of file or package as one might think. First off, to create a custom sound scheme, head to the Control Panel and open the Hardware and Sound Options. In the Sound menu, click on Change system sounds. Leave the applied scheme as it is and instead change its components by selecting one of the listed items and browsing for a new sound file, which has to be in the .wav format. For simplicity's sake, put all your custom sound files into the C:\Windows\Media folder prior to setting them since they have to be in the exact same folder on the system you import them. sounds After you have applied new sounds for all the items you want to change, click the Save as. button and give your scheme a name. Afterwards, to export the scheme open the Windows registry - do so by opening a Run. prompt (Windows + R) and entering regedit. In the left registry panel, browse for the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents key. Right-click it and select Export to save its contents somewhere on your hard drive. Put the exported registry file and all the custom sound files you used on a USB key or another device to transfer the files. After you have got the registry file as well as the soundfiles you used on the other system, put the sound files in the exact same folder as they were on the first system (if you followed this guide, it is C:\Windows\Media). Then double-click the registry file to add the first system's sound scheme settings to the new one (schemes are only added, non will be removed if there were custom schemes installed before). The sound scheme should now be available in the Control Panel. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B.

HTH, Rick Justice Tomorrow's another day, another way! and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike B." <mb69ma...@charter.net> To: "Jaws-Users List" <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Sunday, May 18, 2014 4:37 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Transferring Sound Schemes Hi All, I'm setting up a new Win7 Pro computer running J13 latest &, would like to know if it's possible to transfer a sound scheme from 1 Win7 Pro system to another? If it's possible, how is it done? I truly hope this is possible because doing major sound scheme changes in the Win7 system is a total pain in the very lower back region! Ah, fooled y'all! I bet you thought i'd say something nastier! LOL LOL Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated, & graciously accepted. Thank y'all very much. Take care.
