I forgot to mention that the reason I'm editing the Registry is an attempt to
restore the Windows Event Sounds that I lost when I installed a Logitech Web
Cam Pro 4000 and the software upgrade.

Please read my posting regarding that problem in this same newsgroup. I
have tried everything imaginable to restore the Windows Event Sounds but have
not been successful. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike
