Sound scheme settings for Windows Default

[Guest]

Somehow my Windows Server 2003 installation lost all of its .wav files for
the Windows Default sound scheme. I can either find the list on another
computer and manually reset them or try to find the location where they are
stored. (This does work.) They must exist either somewhere in a file or in
the Registry but I cannot find them.

Can someone point me to where the WAV files are stored that correspond to
Close program, critical stop, etc for the Windows Default sound scheme. With
this information, I am hoping that I can quickly get my sounds working again
by using this information and avoiding entering them manually.

This was not the answer that I was seeking. Error due to my question not
being sufficiently clear.

After sleeping on it a couple of days, I did find the answer that I was
seeking. The WAV files are assoicated with a sound type in the following
Registry location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes

After seeing these entries, I just did my sound scheme manually. Also, I
learned that apparently Windows SErver 2003 come with a minimal number of
sounds. See:
