I would like to know the file name and the location of the directory
of the default sound file for Outlook 2000 when new mail arrives.

Also I would like to know how to replace it with my own sound file and
where to place it.

Thanks.

Hello unanswered,

Thank you for your question.

Microsoft Accessibility has a good article on changing the default
sounds for Outlook here:

Add, Change, or Delete Sounds Used with Button and Menu Commands
http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/outlook2002/sounds.htm

"Change Sounds

This option is changed in the Windows Control Panel Settings for
Sounds and Multimedia. For more information on changing sound options,
see the Step by Step Tutorials for your operating system.

On the Windows Start menu: 

Point to Settings. 
Select Control Panel.

In Control Panel: 

In Microsoft Windows 2000 or later and Microsoft Windows Me:
Select the Sounds and Multimedia icon. 

In Microsoft Windows 98: 
Select the Sounds icon. 

In the Sounds and Multimedia Properties dialog box: 

Select the Sound Event you want from the list. 
Select the Name of a sound you want from the list. 
Press OK. 

To close Control Panel: 
On the File menu, select Close.

Press OK twice. "

You will note that you can browse for a sound file (.wav) anywhere on
your computer and assign it to the "New Mail Notification" event, or
any other for that matter.So you can place the .wav file you wish to
use in almost any directory. I have one for this purpose that I
created in c:\sounds.

If you wish to know where the original .wav file was on your system,
make a note of the name of the file before you change it, then use the
"start menu / find / files or folders" utility to locate the directory
that held this file.
