Want to play a sound effect when a file is deleted

[DAVEY]

Is it possible to have a sound effect play when a file is deleted?
Currently a sound effect plays if the recycle bin is emptied, but I'd like
it to play when the file is first deleted. Thanks in advance.

Delete file or any variation of that does not appear to be a Windows XP
Program event.

Open Sounds and Audio Device Properties...
Start | Run | Type: mmsys.cpl | Click OK |
Sounds tab | Program events | Scroll through the list

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.]]

I have a problem applying a sound to program events as my list is very short.
I want to apply a sound to new e-mail messages and this event does not appear
in my list. I am running XP Home Edition.
I know how to set the sound but don't understand why I have a short program
events list.

Can you help?

Thank you
