What follows is a hopefully thorough treatment of the entire issue, even if this not about backporting any more... The terminology is ambiguous because the event -> sound associations have changed between XP and Vista and because some events are mapped to the same sounds. The following describes my take on this mess for Win2K, XP, and Vista. I have put the assoiciated sound alias names (see PlaySound's SND_ALIAS or HKCU\AppEvents) in brackets. The "Sounds" control panel uses different, "friendly" names. Note that I could only confirm these names for XP and Vista, not for Win2k. 1.) startup (none?) AFAICT this sound is new in Vista. It is played by the system when the logon screen appears, after you start the computer and before any user is logged on. I assume this is new because my XP test machine stayed silent during that period. There appears to be no UI to change this sound. We can ignore it entirely.(Continue reading)

Re: XP Logon/off sounds for 0.24.8 ?
Win2000 has the following sound events:

YES - but not the sound I had set in the control panel ?!
Apparently when I logon to my desktop, it plays the "Open" sound. That is very
odd. If I disable the Open sound, nothing plays.
There is an entry for SystemStart, it just doesn't appear to be used.

NO - (SystemExist exists, but it isn't played here)

I had access to another win2000 machine, and it played the SystemStart/Exit sounds just find on logon/logoff/shutdown in both Explorer and LiteStep. So, I guess nothing to change for Win2000. chris

However, I assume Win2k to behave like XP. Can anyone check this? I run 2k, so I'll test it soon. One of the first things I do when I install windows is to disable all event sounds, so I've never noticed a lack when running LS. I'll see what I can do to run some tests on this... Any thing we need to do on Win9X? chris
