Try:

Open Sounds in Control Panel (Select Start > Settings > Control Panel)
In the Events: window, scroll down to the entry New Mail Notification
Now you can use the Browse button under the Sounds header to select a new sound
Press Apply and OK

It should be the "New Mail Notification" which I don't see listed in your post.

That image looks like it has come from XP OS I am on OS 2000

In my control panel my option is called Sounds and mulitmedia

Looking through my outlook 2003 I have found an option to play sound but cant find out how to put a specific sound on there Iwent through

Tools
Options
Email Accounts
Advanced Email Options

I wonder if there is someway of finding that default sound and changing it.

I know this is not a not really important but its just quirk that I used on my XP at home that I wouldlike to do at work

Cheers for all the previous help
