I just removed Ipswitch's WS_FTP 2007, but the system sounds associated with
the program did not uninstall with it. How do I manually remove the system
sounds in Control Panel?



Thanks,
Shane.

Try removing the Registry keys with Regedit.
I don't have WS_FTP but it is probably under a key like:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\WS_FTP

You should see the names of the sounds in the subkeys.
If the .wav files are also still there, then take a note of them and
remove them.

Also remove relevant keys / values under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents

Not necessary.
They are the same keys.

No, they differ.

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT contains default settings for newly created users ie
*future* user accounts
HKEY_CURRENT_USER designates the current user

So if you change only under 'HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT', it will have no effect on
the current user.

Thanks for your answers.

There are fourteen system sounds left over from WS_FTP, and it seems that
each system sound has four entries in the registry. For example, this change
event appears in the following four locations:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\EventLabels\WSFTP_ChgUp
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\WSFTP_ChgUp
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3132765019-448504513-1931188874-1000\AppEvents\EventLabels\WSFTP_ChgUp
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3132765019-448504513-1931188874-1000\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\WSFTP_ChgUp

I have no idea who the "S-1-5-21-3132765019-448504513-1931188874-1000" user
is.

So, for each of the fourteen system sounds, do I delete the four registry
keys? Do I have to reboot my computer for the changes to take effect?
