567534 2007-07-10 05:42:00 You were the only one who understood what I was on about and your comment led me in the right direction.

That's a bit rich. I understood what you were on about but didn't have the answer, though it did cross my mind that "Wizmo" might have something to do with it. I just didn't investigate further like Jan did. :rolleyes:

Jan, here is another question you can answer: is your avatar from a game and does that character like cheeseburgers or what?

567536 2007-07-10 05:46:00 Try going through and listening to all the sounds in Sound and Audio Properties and see if you can identify it. You never know, you might get lucky. :)

Foxy, I did not see your post since I was posting at the same time and going to the Wizmo site. Rich it may seem to you, but its how it happened for me. Different views for different folks but it was my question.

[edit] I don't know about others here on PF1, but offline - in the 'real world' - I can answer my own question only if I knock it around with other people. Even though they may not give me a direct answer, their comments tweak my memory.

567537 2007-07-10 06:30:00 Another example of thread title misdirection :(

The problem was not one of finding "Location of Windows Sounds" . The location of the . wav files is irrelevant . If "Standby" had existed in the Windows events list, the sound could have been changed or eliminated without ever knowing where the sound files live .

Sometimes an answer to the question being asked is not what's needed . ;)

People could easily find where the Windows sound files are kept . But the question was really "what causes the sound on Standby? . "

FoxyMX actually saw a very subtle possibility; that the sound might be associated with some other event which happens during the Standby event .

And of course, it wasn't Windows at all . :( Yet again, Murphy's law of inverse probability has struck . "I am using Wizmo to Shutdown and Standby, but I don't think it has its own sounds as its just a desktop shortcut" . This could never be . So of course . . . :D

It's very difficult to find a name for a thread which indicates the sort of problem without inadvertently causing people to look in the wrong direction .
