Description

TobySoft's Random Email Sounds application allows the user to choose up to 20 sounds to be played randomly when an email arrives. It runs automatically on boot-up and its user interface can be accessed from an icon in the system tray (on the Windows task bar next to the clock).

Installing

Run the installation program and follow the on-screen instructions.

Uninstalling

Select "Random Email Sounds" from Windows Control Panel|Add/Remove Programs.

Operation

1. Double click on Random.exe or select it from the Windows Start Button|Programs. Ordinarily this won't be necessary, but it's required now because the program hasn't automatically run yet. The program sets up the Registry entries for auto-running at boot-up when it's run for the first time.

2. In the system tray (next to the clock) there should be an icon that looks like an envelope and horn . Right-click this icon and you'll see two menu options:

3. Left-click Show RandomEmailSounds (or double-click the icon) and you'll get a window similar to this:

4. Click the Add Sounds menu, and a Windows file selector will appear. Only sound (*.wav) files are shown.

5. Select a file and click OK.    

6. Repeat step 5 for as many sounds (up to 20) as you want and the window will look simlar to this:

7. Click Cancel when finished.

The number highlighted in red is the currently selected sound.

Removing Sounds

To remove a sound from the program (not from your hard drive, the file will still be there), click on a sound. It will turn yellow to indicate it has been selected. Click again to de-select it. If any sounds have been selected then the Remove button becomes available. You will get a confirmation window. Click Yes or No to remove the sound or not.

Other Features

If you click on the number next to a sound, you will preview that sound.

The menu option Exit RandomEmailSounds (right-click the icon in the system tray and left click the menu item) exits the program.
