I want to change the notification sound of when I receive an email.

control panel>sound>change system sounds.

Done that, chose new sound, clicked on "play" new sound. Saved it with a new name, click ok, still same sound.

Have I missed something? (It works on XP)

But it pointed me in the right direction, thank you. :salute:

If it helps anyone?

If you are using mozilla thunderbird you change the email arrived email sounds by going Tools>options>general
Then look at the last option option
