Hi J J, I prefer the older sounds. They were no good for laptops, but I liked them for the desktop. Any way we can get them back other than downgrading? I think we should be able to choose the ascending sounds, between those two. These now are too loud and harsh for a desktop or headphones situation.

Agreed those aren't the greatest sounds either. Ideally there would be a tone generator function in VBScript but alas there isn't. J.J.
