Vista sound schemes

[Guest]

I've managed to erase or mangle the sound schemes included in Windows Vista
Ultimate. That is, when I click on "sounds" in control panel, there are no
sound schemes present. How can I restore them?

Thanks!

You could try this:

Copy the following (between the dashes; i.e., don't include the dashes), and
Paste it into Notepad.

----------------(dashes)---------------------


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Names]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Names\.Default]
@="Windows Default"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Names\.None]
@="@mmsys.cpl,-801"


----------------(dashes)---------------------


Save the file as Schemes.reg (no .txt extension).

Double-click on Schemes.reg, and allow the merge. This will put the names
back under Sound Scheme on the Sounds tab. Whether or not the Scheme is
still intact in your registry may be another question. I hope so...

Thanks, "Dean-dean". Your suggestion brought back at least two sound
schemes: "standard" and "windows default". I'm not sure whether there should
be others or not. I appreciate the advice!
