Mark thanks for your help. I'm familiar with editing the Registry though I
don't do it alot. Clicked on HKEY_CURRENT_USER
The right pane of the Registry shows:
Name = (Default), Type = REG_SZ, Data = the path to Eudora Pro which is my
email program.
I do get the sounds from Eudora Pro, but not the sounds for Windows XP Pro
start up and shut down.

Under the first entry there's another entry.
Name = PerfectFit Logical Syntax Characters, Type = REG_SZ, Data = "*<>|

Maybe it's that entry? Or is PerfectFit Logical Syntax Characters supposed
to show the Type and Data that mine indicate?

Thanks, Mike
