Installation Instructions
*Copy the Coeur d'Alene audio clips into a new folder you've set up on your computer.
Go to Start ==> Settings ==> Control Panel ==> "Sounds and Multimedia"
(Note: in Vista, "Sounds" folder; then select the "Sounds" tab from among "Playback/Recording/Sounds")
Click on any of the Windows' functions (like, "Close program"). In the box below where it asks you to Name (the sound), choose "Browse" and select the audio clip you want from your new folder. You'll be assigning a Coeur d'Alene sound to that function, and hear the alert every time your computer performs it.
A few extra steps for enabling the mail notification sound:
In order to enable a sound to play as notification of when you receive a new email, you have to activate that option in Microsoft Outlook. First, open Microsoft Outlook. Pictures of the steps are pasted below.
Go to Tools ==> Options ==> Preferences (tab) ==> E-mail Options… button (towards top of dialog box) ==> Advanced E-mail Options…button (towards middle of dialog box) ==> check the box that says “play a sound” ==> press “OK” 3 times to exit and save new settings. Note: Vista may be a little different.
Tools ==> Options


A few more extra steps to enable a “Reminder” audio to play for calendar reminders (if you use the calendar and alarms within Outlook):
Go to Tools ==> Options ==> Other (tab) ==> Advanced Options… button (towards top of dialog box) ==> Reminder Options…button (towards bottom of dialog box) ==> this will bring you to the Reminder Options dialog box in which you’ll check both boxes (regarding playing sound and displaying the reminder). Next, you’ll need to assign a sound you want to play when a task or meeting is coming up, from that same dialog box, click browse…, locate and select the audio clip you want from the new folder you created with the Cd’A audio files. Once you’ve located it press the “OK” button three times to exit and save new settings.
