Hi, Laura.
Yes. As I explained in my original post (when I forgot to attach the file -
and when I still thought John was using Vista):
<paste>
I am attaching the .txt version of a .reg file that I've updated from
earlier (Win2K and WinXP) versions to work in Vista. This one is customized
for MY system, which has Quicken installed in my E:QuickenW folder. You
probably will need to edit it by using Notepad's Edit | Replace function to
change all occurrences of "E:\QuickenW" to "C:\Users\<username>" to
reflect your own Username ("jhewitt", or whatever you use). After editing
this .txt file, save it and change the extension to .reg. When you are sure
it's correct, right-click the filename (in Explorer) and click Merge. This
will add Quicken to Vista's Sounds menu; you can edit the specific sounds
(Open Program, Click, etc.) if you don't like the defaults.
</paste>
And note that the Registry file needs the double \ in its pathnames. The
"C:\Users\<username>" format is for Vista. John probably should change
all occurrences of "E:\QuickenW" to "C:\Program Files\Quicken", but he
should be sure that is the right pathname for his own Quicken folder. Since
I've not used WinXP in over a year, and since my Quicken location was
non-standard, you might be better able to tell him what the replacement
string should be.
