How to set "No Sounds" by default

[kandurak]

Hi,

I have a requirement where I have to set the sound scheme settings to "No sounds" in Control Panel -> "Sounds and Audio Devices" -> Sounds Tab -> Sound Schemes ====== No Schemes.

Basicall, I want to disable all sounds for a particular user.

Please let me know how to do this. I know that there is something to do with Registry Key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes" but I donot exactly know how to do this.

Please please help

I created this reg tweak (see attached).

It disables everything by default except Netmeeting.

This is permanent so make a back up of...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps]

...if you need/want to recover the default sounds scheme.

This is also something which can be done in AD.

If I add the information to HKEY_USERS\... will it be applicable to all users of the system?

What I mean is, after adding to HKEY_USERS\... if I create a new user on the system, will it be applicable to this new user also?

Please help... I need to make this change for all users of the system.

Hello,

Applying it to the current user if done through cmdlines.txt will apply it to all users created from that point onward. The reason being, at the point it's applied, the current user is in fact the Default User as no other accounts have been created and each new user account is based on the Default User account.

This setting change is in an application which will be run during the first login of Administrator. Hence I cannot move it to the cmdlines.txt

Anyother Ideas / solutions please...

Hello,

If you'd like this tweak to be applied to all users created, apply it at cmdlines.txt and remove all references to HKEY_USERS as they're redundant.

This is not a response to the problem you're experiencing kandurak, but there must be a program-specific tweak to disable sounds in the application you're installing. This tweak is for windows sounds.
