Yes you should be changing the Mozilla prefs.js file. If on Windows
2000, I think it's located in
C:\Documents And Settings\<userid>\Application Data\Mozilla\<profile
name>\<wierd .slt dir name>\prefs.js
or somewhere around there. You get the picture. Do a search for local
hard drives for prefs.js file. Alternatively, look in Edit->Mail and
News Settings->Server Settings. There is a box over there that indicates
the local directory to store your mail. The directory location should
give you a hint as to where your prefs.js is.
Your settings would be
user_pref("mail.biff.use_default_sound", false);
user_pref("mail.biff.sound_file", "C:\\Windows\\Media\\Notify.wav");
