PROKA Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 (edited) Hi there ! I am interested in changing the "empty Recycle bin" sound ( VB.NET ) Edited September 14, 2003 by PROKA Quote Development & Research Department @ Elven Soft
AlexCode Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 I don't know how you can acomplish this but certainly it's with an unmanage code usind some API directly on the OS. This puts you on a dificult position... if you develop the app on XP you have great chance to be unable to run it on all other MS OS platforms... if you ever have to use directly an API to do anything you'll have this problem... If you want I can explain it better to you ... Quote Software bugs are impossible to detect by anybody except the end user.
*Experts* Volte Posted September 14, 2003 *Experts* Posted September 14, 2003 No, API is for the most part compatible with all Windows OS's (with exceptions). If he ever wants to port to another OS entirely, then he may have difficulty, since the same API probably wouldn't exist on it. Quote
AlexCode Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 True, but like you said "for the most part compatible with all Windows OS's" what warants me (he) that the Recycle Bin API on XP supports the same methods on 98, Me... The Framework filters the mrthods and redirects them to the correct API on the current OS but who knows witch API runs where? We taste freedom going unmanaged but we can have a taste of trouble too ... ehehehe :) Quote Software bugs are impossible to detect by anybody except the end user.

Winston Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 ok go to Control Panel> Sounds check up the empty recycle bin sound that's selected change it and there lol jks nah check what the name is if it's default it should be Windows XP Recycle.wav then you go to Start> Run type in regedit do a Edit> Find put Windows XP Recycle.wav that in search you should come out with a result of the actually registry path that stores what the empty recycle bin sound is for, then all it is is writing some small block of code that changes that registry setting easy huh?
