Set the "No Sounds" scheme for the default user profile

[Thor]

Hi,

I'm working at a customer, who wants to have the No Sounds as Vista's
default Sound Scheme, in their image.

On XP it is easy. Open the Hive (registry) for the default user, and add the
following:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes]
"@"=".None"

In Vista however, it doesn't work.
The closest I get to set No Sounds as the Default Sound Scheme is by adding
the following to the default user hive (registry). I have verified the keys,
by running them after user logon. This changes the the sound scheme to "no
Sounds":
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes]
"@"=".None"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\.Default\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\CCSelect\.current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\Close\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\CriticalBatteryAlarm\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\DeviceConnect\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\DeviceDisconnect\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\DeviceFail\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\LowBatteryAlarm\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\MailBeep\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\Maximize\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\MenuCommand\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\MenuPopup\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\Minimize\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\Open\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\PrintComplete\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\RestoreDown\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\RestoreUp\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\ShowBand\.current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemAsterisk\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemExclamation\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemExit\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemHand\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemNotification\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemQuestion\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\WindowsLogoff\.Current]
"@"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\WindowsLogon\.Current]

This will not get me the No Sounds Profile, but part of it. Approximately
half of the actions still use the sound Scheme from Default Sound Scheme.
E.g. the Logon and the logoff action.

I suspect the "Vista Theme" is what is causing the behavior. If i select the
"no Sounds" Scheme and afterwards change Vista Theme (doesn't matter to which
one), the Sound Scheme returns to Default Sound (modified).

How do I get the default user profile to use the "No Sounds" Scheme as the
default?
