Guest crafty Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Hi all you clever developers out there. I really hate the annoying default system sound on the phone and wish that there was some way to turn it off. I know that this is not possible by hacking the registry, but managed to do it by recording a blank .wav and overwritting WindowsDefault.wav Because the file is in Windows, the change is of course lost after a power cycle. I was wondering if it would be possible to make a little app that ran on startup that overwrote the default noise with a blank .wav I have no programming experience so don't even know if this is feasible. Might be a problem that you have to confirm the replacement, not sure if this could be done automatically. Anyway, just an idea, feel free to comment or just say it aint possible. Thanks. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 A readonly .cab in your startup folder that installed the blank wav to Windows would work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crafty Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Not ideal as i was hoping for something that would run in the background without you having to do anything. I assume that with a .cab you would have to go through the whole "CAB file Downloaded..." routine. In absence of any other solutions would be a useful workaround. The only problem is that i haven't a clue of how to make it. Any takers??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rcraswell Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Here's a little craplet that may do the job for you... Syntax: cp Example: cp "IPSMMy Documentsblank.wav" "Windowsdefault.wav" 30 seconds to code and about that much testing...cp.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vijay555 Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 craplet! sums up all of my coding experience in 30 secs as well! Thought about writing the rest of UNIX here rcraswell? :lol: V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
