accidently deleted filesizelimit

[Guest Look Its Lance]

Yeah I was tring to remove the limit on the 300kb ringtone. I accidently deleted filesizelimit instead of editing it, is there anyway i can get it back?

Yeah it should be as easy as adding any registry key. Using your favorite registry editor, I use CeRegEditor, it's easy and free, go to HKEY_Current_User > ControlPanel > Sounds. right click (or whatever) on the Sounds folder (not any of the subfolders) and make a new REG_DWORD with the exact name "FileSizeLimit" and a really big Data Value like "10007200"

what harm is done by deleting vs. editing it?

lol, you can't just go deleting registry entries. It's not like deleting a program. From what I know, if you delete this registry entry, you will not be ably to use ANY size file for a ringtone. You will get an error.

Gimmie a minute and I'll try it.

Yup, just like I thought. If you delete the registry entry and try to set a ringtone, you will get this error:

"The file size cannot be larger than 0 KB"

I just tried it..

What's weird is I do not get this problem when I delete it. What happens is it lets me set it to what I want, but then it begins resetting to the Windows Default one.
