Sound scheme
[[Lists schemes that you can use to change the sounds assigned to many
program events. Each scheme consists of a set of events and the sounds
associated with them. You can create a new sound scheme by clicking Save
As.]]

Program events
[[Lists the program events to which you can assign sounds. To assign a sound
to a program event, click a program event (such as Close program) under
Events, and then click a sound under Sounds.
If you do not see a sound in Sounds, you can click the down arrow to select
from those listed, or you can click Browse to search for sound files on your
computer.]]

Sounds
[[Lists the available sound files that you can associate with program
events. The sound files listed are typically those files stored in
systemroot\media. However, if you have browsed to a different folder and
used sounds located in that folder, the Sounds list includes sounds from
that folder.
You can search for sound files in other folders by clicking Browse.
Sound files for program events must be in Microsoft WAV format, a file
format developed to store and replay sounds on a personal computer. Their
names usually include .wav as an extension.]]

square block or a Stop button. Click the Stop button to stop playing the
selected sound.]]

The sounds are correct and do work with the Sounds menu..They do not work
wehn I log on or log off.
 
This probably won't help either.

It seems that Windows XP doesn't like sounds in two different places.
I now only use one place in the Media folder for all sounds...and logoff and
logon sounds are working.

What two places?

C:\WINDOWS\Media is the default location for sound event sounds, but nothing
says you have to use those .wav files.

Normally you can have a .wav file anywhere on your machine that you can use
for sound events.

I use this for one for Start Windows
C:\Documents and Settings\Wesley Vogel\My Documents\My Download Files\WAV
FILES\LooneyToons\ltunes.wav
