Recycle Bin

[PROKA]

Hi there !

I am interested in changing the "empty Recycle bin" sound

( VB.NET )

I dont know how you can acomplish this but certainly its with an unmanage code usind some API directly on the OS.

This puts you on a dificult position... if you develop the app on XP you have great chance to be unable to run it on all other MS OS platforms... if you ever have to use directly an API to do anything youll have this problem...

If you want I can explain it better to you ...

No, API is for the most part compatible with all Windows OSs (with exceptions). If he ever wants to port to another OS entirely, then he may have difficulty, since the same API probably wouldnt exist on it.

True, but like you said "for the most part compatible with all Windows OSs" what warants me (he) that the Recycle Bin API on XP supports the same methods on 98, Me...

The Framework filters the mrthods and redirects them to the correct API on the current OS but who knows witch API runs where?

We taste freedom going unmanaged but we can have a taste of trouble too ... ehehehe

ok guys I dont want to be mean but still , no solution ?

ok go to Control Panel> Sounds

check up the empty recycle bin sound thats selected


change it and there lol jks nah

check what the name is

if its default

it should be Windows XP Recycle.wav


then you go to Start> Run

type in regedit


do a Edit> Find

put Windows XP Recycle.wav that in

search you should come out with a result of the actually registry path that stores what the empty recycle bin sound is for, then all it is is writing some small block of code that changes that registry setting easy huh?
