Hello again,
and as your short term memory might serve, some of you are aware that I
am looking for some substitute sound/wav files for Thunderbird Enhanced
app, as well as the IE info bar. While on my quest, I've noticed that
out of 448 files, I think about 50% are duplicates, and a high number of
these files really don't make much sound at all, if any. I mean, there
is actually one called "silent.wav" which seems to be absolutely, well,
silent. Now, what the hell is the point of having a .wav file that is
actually silent.
With all these duplicates, these files are spread all over the place,
used by so many different apps. I don't know, but at one time, wasn't
the convention to have these files reside in one subfolder of the
Windows folder, where they could be accessed by all apps rather than by
the present arrangement?
I realize that on a 1TB hard drive, 60 something mb isn't a lot of
occupied space, but it just seems to be a bit presumptuous on the part
of app writers to spread them all over hell like that. But I guess we
don't live in the most civil or considerate age.
Oh well, just my two cents worth about something that doesn't matter
worth a hill of beans, but I'm just a bit curious. Wont lose much sleep
over it <smile>.
