Hi, That's my thinking as well. I was testing if the "old hacks" worked or not - just placing Windows folder on Flash with the updated sound file (dated later than official one). Using ActiveSync would be somewhat tedious (for some users) - but if I have to, I'd go in their and change everything - with the benefit of Hard Reset. Also, since activeSync exposes key system files and folders (unlike WMDC), it'll allow me and other engineers to find out the "real software architecture" of HIMS interface - at this point, multiple executables, all packaged under Task Manager (the main menu on top). Since I don't have the USB cable, that possibility has to wait (unless if someone would like to access BSP files under WinXP and send it to me (and other programmers) as zip so that we can view it). Cheers, Joseph

Joseph, just for the record, you can indeed change the system sounds if you have access to a Windows XP machine running Active Sync. However we don not support this and a hard reset would restore the defaults, causing the changes to be lost. Many thanks.
