Obsolyte Steps for Notes 4:
From IRIS newsletter online:
Tired of the "blip" that announces new mail? Users of Windows NT and Windows 95 can personalize their mail alert with a favorite sound file. You must have speakers and a sound card installed.
Before you start, find a sound file. The Windows Media directory should contain several .WAV files. You can search for sites on the Internet that contain public domain collections of sound files. Common sound file extensions are .WAV, or .MIDI.
1. Find your NOTES.INI file. Make sure it is the one that is being used. You may have several versions in different directories so delete them and put the latest one in \notes\data directory.
2. Double-click on the NOTES.INI file to open it.
3. Add the following line to the end of the NOTES.INI file:
NEWMAILTUNE=file\path
For example,
NEWMAILTUNE=c:\winnt\media\chord.wav
4. Restart your machine and send mail to yourself to hear the new sound.
