Running XP home and W98SE on two machines.
1. Click Start, Run type regedit, and and then press Enter. Click on the plus
(+) before each of the following keys:
HEKY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps
2. Use one of the currently existing keys such as MPlayer to make a new one same structure and titled wanted. Either Open and Close, or both.
3. Go to the Control Panel Sounds and pick the "open" and "close" WAV file applicable you'd like used when IE is . . .

I created a new key, no go. Renamed an existing (but not used) key, no go. Rebooted both times. The new listing, Internet Explorer, shows up in Sounds, but I get nothing when I open IE.
But not when IE opens.
I first listed the key as:
Internet Explorer
It showed in Sounds and it tested ok but not when IE opened. I then noticed that all the keys with two words had no space between the words so I renamed it to:
InternetExplorer
Same, same.
Any thoughts?
