Do you have custom system sounds or no?

[OvenMaster]

Do you keep the default Microsoft-supplied system event sounds, or do you go to the trouble of putting in your own? For instance, when my PC starts, I no longer use Microsoft's little orchestral jingle, but the sound of a Model T cranking over and starting! My Recycle Bin isn't a piece of paper being crumpled, but a toilet flushing.
What do YOU do?

Since I am on a mission to skin everything skinnable on my computer to look like a Mac (I dont like Macs but they still look cool). I use the Iceman sound pack which replaces every single Windows sound with the Mac equivalent.

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

Using a modified XP version - I removed the system sounds.

I hate system sounds. I prefer my own music.

 

[The_Other_One]

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.

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.
