In our last tip, we showed you how to make new application events appear 

in the Sounds dialog box: In the Registry Editor, add a  new application key 

(such as WINWORD.EXE, for Microsoft Word) to HKEY-

CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps. Then  add event keys, such 

as Minimize or RestoreDown, to this new application key. Once you've used 

the Registry to add all the  applications and events you want to be able to 

access from the Sounds dialog box, head on over there and associate your

sounds.  Open the Control Panel and double-click Sounds. Select an event, 

then click the down arrow next to Name and take your pick of  sounds. (If 

the sound you'd like to use isn't in the list, click Browse, navigate your way 

to the file you want to use, select it, and  click OK.) Repeat these steps for 

every event with which you'd like to associate a sound, and when you're 

done click OK.
