Do you have custom system sounds or no?

I hate system sounds. I prefer my own music.

Too lazy to change them

Perhaps one day as I used to really customize my machines.

First I disabled them and then I deleted them manually in WINDOWS folder. They're useless.

Changing sounds is easy, go to control panel, hit sounds and audio devies, go to the Sounds tab, have fun.

You can put any .wav file you want in the folder C:\Windows\Media and then pick the sounds according to the event you want as Gamerman describes above. I asked because I have done this for years; I can't stand the standard Windows sounds. Explosions, Homer Simpsons' "D'oh!" on errors, cars skidding when programs crash, all that stuff puts a smile on my face when Windows actually does something... right OR wrong!
Thanks to all that responded.
