If you enable the "Extended system sounds" in "&xwp; Setup", &xwp; will add new events to the "Sound" page in the "Sound" object.

Please note that the &xwp; system sounds will make your system slower, just as the regular system sounds do too. Even on my Pentium-133 with 32 MB RAM, this is noticeable, even though &xwp; uses a separate thread to play its sounds.

Configuring these new sounds is not too spectacular: &xwp; just adds a few more items to the events list box on the "Sounds" page. All the &xwp; items start with "&xwp;", so you'll be able to view them grouped together.

You can find a few small sounds in the WAV subdirectory of the &xwp; installation directory to get you started. ;-)

Implementation. To introduce these features, several components of &xwp; are interacting. To intercept system events for the new system sounds, the XFolder and XFldDesktop classes need to be installed. However, the new XWPSound class replacement (see the previous page) is not required for the new system sounds. That class only makes configuration easier.
