Can I change to "No
Sounds" Sounds Scheme by default?
You sure can!
In Windows 2000/XP/2003,
each time a new user logs on for the
first time, it is given a new user
profile in which the default Windows
Sound Scheme is used. While nice to have
at home, sometimes this feature is plain
annoyance.
You can easily change
this behavior and force Windows to use
the "No Sounds" sound scheme as the
default sound scheme.
To do so
follow these steps:
-
Open
Registry Editor.
-
In
Registry Editor, navigate to the
following registry key:
-
Create
the following value (SZ):
Default
and give it a value
of .NONE
(Yes, you need the
leading dot - . )
Note: As
always, before making changes to
your registry you should always make
sure you have a valid backup. In
cases where you're supposed to
delete or modify keys or values from
the registry it is possible to first
export that key or value(s) to a
.REG file before performing the
changes.
-
Close
Registry Editor.
Any new user who will now
logon to this computer will have the "No
Sounds" sound scheme applied. |
