how to make sounds when you open certain programs

Is there any way to have windows play sounds when you open a specific program? I know how to make it do it with all programs but I want a sound just when I start i.e. or outlook. Any suggestions?

To get involved, or not to get involved...

I'm sure there must be a program somewhere that lets you assign sound effects to app launching, I just haven't found it yet.

Hubba quack...Interesting; I use the patented Fwiddle bleep®. Now available in UGG retail outlets everywhere.

I'd count on some pretty strange looks for the first week or so...But don't worry, people will eventually get used to it and avoid you like the plague. It happens to all of us. Tragic.

How refreshing....daddy5 has a sense of humor


BTW: Koasati is correct...there is no way to do that. Everyone else was right too...you can just grunt

sorry if I offended anybody

If I knew how to do what you asked daddy5 I wouldn't of intentionally misinterpretted what you said.

It would be nice to know though.

Fwiddle bleep is patented? I think I saw someone trading it on Napster. Better call the RIAA.

If anyone finds a program that can assign sounds to specific app launching let me know.

Sound Association v3.02 http://www.leeos.com/sound_association.html

A noisy computer is a good computer! Put your .wav files to good use and assign them to all of your most-used programs with this free utility. Sound Association (formerly Souser-Sound Association) lets you easily assign sound events to any Windows executable file. For instance, you can have a specific .wav file play when you open Word, another when you fire up Notepad, and still another when you launch your Web browser. Besides "Open" sound events, you can add hooks for Close, Maximize, Minimize, Restore Up, Restore Down, and more. Just type in the program's "friendly" name, browse for its .exe, and check off the sound hooks you want to add. Then, push a button to go directly to the Control Panel Sounds area to assign .wav files to your sound events.

Thanks Iplural. I knew there had to be some kind of program out there. Really appreciate it.

And to Essencay, Howard Dean's scream is my Windows exclamation, error beep, etc. It's pretty funny when my wife gets on after I've been gaming with the speakers up and she doesn't save a window before closing and you hear this loud Yeeeaarrrhhhh in the next room. Now with that sound association program I am gonna have Al Gore tell me how he invented the internet every time I open I.E.
