Quicken 2010 R3 open sound

Hi, Bernie.

Sounds like (no pun intended! ) you found the perfect solution. Congratulations! ; Sadly, in my opinion, R3 adds back the startup sound that I find annoying

A better way would be to manage the sounds through the Control Panel / Sounds window in Windows.

Sadly, in my opinion, R3 adds back the startup sound that I find annoying and unnecessary. I've sent feedback suggesting that Intuit make the sound a Startup Preference. I like having the register sounds,

so turning them all of isn't a desirable solution.

Turns out that the Quicken Sounds folder has a bunch of opening sound files. I changed the name of the qopen.wav file so that it will no longer be found. But I decided that the qopen_2000.wav sound wasn't so bad, so I made a copy of that file and named the copy qopen.wav.

Yup. I particularly hate the "ca-ching" sound when I enter a transaction in Q, so I just changed that sound in Control Panel / Sounds.

Regards,

Margaret

You're right. It's been a long time since I've looked past the Windows sounds in Control Panel. Doing it through Control Panel is a better way and simpler too. Thanks for mentioning it. I'm changing the file names back to the originals and using the Control Panel approach.

In the Control Panel - Sounds - is a choice too if you want nothing. /Dan
