Grumble ... Stupid Windows. You cannot even export/import your

I was irritated by that years ago - I think it might even have been in
'9x, but certainly XP (and almost certainly later) - when I set up a
sound scheme (what sounds go with what events), and "saved" it: it
doesn't ask you where, and of course in practice it doesn't save it as a
file, but in the registry _only_. (Fair enough, has to be in memory
_while running_, but. If nothing else you can't - easily, at least -
copy them from one machine to another.


The trick is to set up the two computers side by side, and then do each one
individually, by looking at the first one and modifying the second one, one
by one. :-) Granted, it still takes a bit of time, however.
