Perfect all works. Is there anyway to play explorer sounds? i.e. in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating

In particular the navigating sound.

You'll have to retrieve the path and filename of the sound from the Registry and play that. You can't use the alias shortcut. The catch is the value in the Registry MIGHT look something like this: %SystemRoot%\media\Windows XP Start.wav

"%SystemRoot%" is an environment variable and you'll need to replace it with the value of that variable. You can use VB's Environ$ function to do this, but first you must remove the 2 % signs.
