RE: Reinstall sounds @ Application Data
Actually its in VB6, and upon re-reading some of the code, it turns out I actually had made it compatible with earlier versions of Windows (sound path folder).

I am still trying to improve how the sounds are previewed (currently each previewed sound is copied to users temp folder and played through WMP and then deleted) as this method is slow and messy.
;p

you can play them by using "mpegvideo" instead of "waveaudio" (this using the MCI control, but it should work with this too)

wow, nice app, thanks a lot for that, I'm sure it will prove to be useful to several people in the same situation.

As for the sound panel loading time, I have some ideas about how to optimise it, I'll try to work on that for the next version :).

Thanks. I'll try that when I've sorted a few other things.

And I'm already looking forward to the next version Patchou! Keep up the good work! (H)

Edit: Thanks Millenium_edition - Just tried it now and it works a treat!
