When I empty the Recycle Bin the sound will not play. I've checked in Control Panel, Sounds under program events: and when I preview the sound, it will play. Other sound events work fine. I have 4 computers running XP Pro and on 3 of them I can't get the Empty Recycle Bin sound to play. Has anyone else experenced this and does anyone have a solution? I've tried severial .reg files at Kelly's corner but noe of these have worked.
Please help if you can. Thank you!
 
Have you tried changing the sound file for Empty Recycle Bin, clicking the
Apply button, and seeing if a different sound file will play for that task?

Yes I have. I didn't even know that it was not working until I decieded to customize the sound file. When I couldn't get it to work, I changed it back to the default "Windows XP Recycle.wav" and it still did not work. That is when I checked my other 3 computers and found 2 of them not working and one that does. I also exported the folder {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID from the registry on the working computer and imported it to the non working computer. This also did not fix the problem.
